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.

Respuesta :

height of the three NOW is 61cm... but it will still grow for like 3cm/month, so it will be 61 + 3x.. also it says that it will grow to be at MOST y cm tall.. hence the inequality will be 61+3x≤y

Answer:

3x + 61 ≤ y will be the expression.

Step-by-step 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
