Question

Hudson bought a plant and planted it in a pot near a window in his house. The initial height of the plant was 8 inches and it grew at a rate of 3 inches per month. Write an equation for H,H, in terms of t,t, representing the height, in inches, of the plant tt months after Hudson bought the plant.

Answer 1

Answer:

H = 3t + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the plant has an initial height of 8 inches, this will be added to the amount it grows each month.

3t will represent how much it grows t months after he bought the plant, since it grows 3 inches each month.

So, the equation will be H = 3t + 8
