Question

I'd really appreciate it if you'd help! :)

John's mother took him to the doctor's office. His height measured 36 inches. For the past 4 years his height has grown at the rate of 2 inches per year.

Which equation represents John's height after y years?


h=2y+36


h=36y+2


h=18y


h=38y

Answer 1

The answer to your question is

h=2y+36

why?

because he was already 36 inches which mean he would be adding on the inches.

So he would grow 2 inches a year plus the 36 inches he already was.

Hope this helps
