WILL GIVE BRAINLIST PLZZZZZZZZZZZ HELP ME, SOMEONE !! ASAP
A small tree was planted at a height of 6 feet. The tree has been planted for 16 months and is now 58.8 feet tall. Which equation could be used to find x, the average number of feet the tree grew each month?
A.
6x + 16 = 58.8

B.
58.8x + 6 = 16

C.
16x + 6 = 58.8

D.
16x + 58.8 = 6

Respuesta :

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

(58.8-6)/16=x

how?

58.8-6=16x

58.8= 16x+6

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We know right off the bat that the number after the equal sign must be 58.8. The tree "is now" 58.8 feet tall, meaning that all its growth equaled 58.8. We can rule out B and D.

We also know that the tree started with 6 feet. If you remember y-intercepts, this is essentially the y-intercept. It's where it starts. From that, we know that 6 must be a constant (6) not a coefficient (6x).

And we know that the growth rate x is feet per month. We need to put it next to 16 so months cancel and we get feet as a result.

This gives us answer choice C.
