Answer:
I answered this question in another thread, I'll copy paste it here.
<u>Sugar Maple</u>
8 + 1.5x = 15.5
<u>Fraser Fir</u>
8 + 0.25x = 9.25
<u>Sycamore</u>
8 + 2.5x = 12.5
<u>Oak</u>
8 + 4x = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
It cannot be Red Maple or Linden, because they are multiplying the number of years by the height it already has. We are looking for the height it <u><em>will have</em></u> BASED on the <u>rate</u> that Chang calculated. Therefore, we are <em>multiplying</em> the RATE by the NUMBER OF YEARS (x).
It <u>cannot</u> be <em>red maple </em>or<em> Linden </em>because you are multiplying the height they already have, and not the rate it will grow by.
The right expression to represent the growth of Red Maple would be
8 + 3x = 23
The right expression to represent the growth of Linden would be
8 + 1.5x = 15.5
Therefore, again, these are the <u>correct answer(s)</u>: Sugar Maple, Fraser Fir, Sycamore, and Oak.
