The relationship between time in months, t, and height in cm, h, can be represented by the equation h=4+2t for Plant A and h=8+2t for Plant C.

Question

Subtract 2t from both sides to rewrite the equation.
h=4+2t
h=8+2t
Height of Plant A
=
Height of Plant C
4 + 2t

Answer 1

To rewrite the equations for height by subtracting \(2t\) from both sides, we start with the two initial equations given:

1. For Plant A: \[ h = 4 + 2t \]

2. For Plant C: \[ h = 8 + 2t \]

Now, let's subtract \(2t\) from both sides for both equations:

1. For Plant A: \[ h - 2t = 4 \]

2. For Plant C: \[ h - 2t = 8 \]

Now, you can see that the relationship becomes:

• Height of Plant A: \[ h - 2t = 4 \]

• Height of Plant C: \[ h - 2t = 8 \]

To summarize:

• Height of Plant A becomes \(h - 2t = 4\)
• Height of Plant C becomes \(h - 2t = 8\)
