Answer:

x = -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

0.4x + 2.9 = 1.5

Reorder the terms:

2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5

Solving

2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2.9' to each side of the equation.

2.9 + -2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9

Combine like terms: 2.9 + -2.9 = 0.0

0.0 + 0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9

0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -2.9 = -1.4

0.4x = -1.4

Divide each side by '0.4'.

x = -3.5

Simplifying

x = -3.5

After m months, the height of a plant is 10+3m millimeters. How tall is the plant after eight months? Three years?
Oksanka [162]
Why not start out by writing a linear relationship for the plant height?

h(m) = 10 + 3m, where h is the height in mm and m is the time in years, starting from zero (0).

After 8 months, the plant height is h(8) = 10 mm + 3(8) mm, or 34 mm.

After 3 years (36 months), the plant ht. is h(36) = 118 mm.
