Question

Eric noticed that his basil plant grows 5 cm every day. He starts recording the height when the plant is 22 cm tall. He wants to determine the height of the plant in 2 weeks, so he sets up and solves the equation shown. What does the solution 92 mean? ((10 points))

Answer 1

The solution 92 is how tall the basil plant becomes in two weeks after he starts recording its height.

There's 14 days in two weeks.
There's no equation shown, but I suppose it was like this:
5x+22=92

But once you insert 14 days in the equation, it'll become:

5(14)+22=92
70+22=92
92=92
