At the beginning of spring, Rashon planted a small sunflower in his backyard. When it was first planted, the sunflower was 25 inches tall. The sunflower then began to grow at a rate of 1 inch per week. How tall would the sunflower be after 9 weeks? How tall would the sunflower be after ww weeks?
Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2

Height after 9 weeks:
Height after ww weeks:

Answer 1

Initial height 25 in, growth 1 in per week.

After 9 weeks: 25 + 1·9 = 34 inches.

After w weeks: 25 + 1·w = 25 + w inches (if the variable is written ww, replace w by ww: 25 + ww).
