Renata moved to her new home a few years ago. Back then, the young oak tree in her back yard was 190 centimeters tall. She measured it once a year and found that it grew at a constant rate. 3 years after she moved into the house, the tree was 274 centimeters tall. many years passed from the time Renata moved in until the tree was 344 centimeters tall?

Respuesta :

274 - 190 = 84......so it took 3 years to grow 84 inches...that means it is growing at a rate of : 84/3 = 28 cm per year

y = 28x + 190...this would be ur equation where y is the total height in cm. and x is the number of years. 

So how many years till it reaches 344 cm.....sub in 344 for y and solve for x

344 = 28x + 190
344 - 190 = 28x
154 = 28x
154/28 = x
5.5 = x <=== 5 1/2 (or 5.5) years would have passed


It took 5 and half years for to Renata moved in until the tree height was 344 centimeters tall.

Renata has a young oak tree in her backyard, a height of 190 centimeters tall. After 3 years the tree is 274 centimeters tall. In what year the tree would have 344 centimeters tall.

What is the equation?

The equation is the relationship between variables and is represented as of a polynomial equation.

Here, the rate at which tree height is been increased from 190 centimeters to 274 centimeters.
= 274-190/3
=  28 centimeters per year
Now the equation can be given as,
Let x be years and y be the height of the tree. Than,
y = 28x+190
Now y = 344 centimeters
344 = 28x - 190
344 -190 = 28x
28x = 154
x = 5.5 years

Thus, it took 5 and half years for to Renata moved in until the tree height was 344 centimeters tall.
