Last month, Margo bought a tree that grows 2.5 \text{ cm}2.5 cm2, point, 5, start text, space, c, m, end text each day. It was 5 \text{ cm}5 cm5, start text, space, c, m, end text tall when she bought it and now it is 65 \text{ cm}65 cm65, start text, space, c, m, end text tall. Write an equation to determine the number of days (d)(d)left parenthesis, d, right parenthesis Margo has owned the plant.
Find the number of days Margo has owned the plant.

-9

step-by-step explanation:

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
