At the beginning of spring, Jeremiah planted a small sunflower in his backyard. When it was first planted, the sunflower was 15 inches tall. The sunflower then began to grow at a rate of 2 inches per week. How tall would the sunflower be after 10 weeks? How tall would the sunflower be after ww weeks?

a) How tall would the sunflower be after 10 weeks?

35 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of spring, Jeremiah planted a small sunflower in his backyard. When it was first planted, the sunflower was 15 inches tall. The sunflower then began to grow at a rate of 2 inches per week.

If the rate:

1 week = 2 inches

10 weeks = x inches

x = 10 × 2/1

x = 20 inches

How tall would the sunflower be after 10 weeks?

The initial height = 15 Inches

The height after 10 weeks =

15 inches + 20 inches

= 35 inches

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x
