w
w weeks

Answer 1

Answer:

A=15 inches. B=h=5+2.5w inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Our starting height is 5 inches.

It grew at a constant rate of 2.5 inches per week.

A. How tall after 4 weeks?

Well, we can solve by making an equation.

height=5inches+2.5(x)

In this situation, x is 4.

Height will be 15 inches.

B. This is just asking for the equation.

We already did that in part a!

We just need to switch x out with w.

h=5+2.5w
