Ethan planted a tree that was 1.85 meters tall. Several years later the tree is 5.30 meters tall. Which equation can be used to find x the number of meters the tree has grown

Answer 1

To find \( x \), the number of meters the tree has grown, you can use the following equation:

\[ x = \text{final height} - \text{initial height} \]

Substituting the values for the final height (5.30 meters) and the initial height (1.85 meters), the equation becomes:

\[ x = 5.30 - 1.85 \]

This equation will allow you to calculate the growth of the tree in meters.
