Question

A landscaper is planting a tree that is now 61cm tall. the tree will grow 3cm per month for x months. the tree will grow to be at most ycm tall. write an inequality showing this relationship.

Answer 1

3x + 61 ≤ y will be the expression.

Explanation:

A lanscaper is planting a tree that is initially 61 cm tall.

Tree will grow with a rate of 3 cm per month for x months.

By this rate tree will grow 3x cm.

Since initial size of the tree was 61 cm so total length after x months will be = 3x + 61

This height of tree is at most y cm, that means height of the tree will be less than equal to y.

So the expression will be 3x + 61 ≤ y
