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.

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
