Y= 5x +22 y = 5(14) + 22 y = 70 + 22 y = 92 eric noticed that his basil plant grows 5 can 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 the solves the equation shown. what does the solution 92 mean? a) the planet will grow for another 92 days. b) the plant will have a height of 92 cm in 2 weeks. c) the plant will have a height of 92 cm in 5 weeks. d) the plant will have a height of 70 cm in 2 weeks.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

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

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
