OpenStudy (harleygirl18):

Which inequality best represents the situation? A pine tree grows at a rate of 1.5 feet per year. James plants a 2-foot tall pine tree in his yard. How many years will it take for the tree to be at least 14 feet tall? A. 2x + 1.5 ≥ 14 B. 2x – 1.5 ≤ 14 C. 1.5x + 2 ≥ 14 D. 1.5x – 2 ≤ 14

OpenStudy (harleygirl18):

I think it's A

OpenStudy (jfernandes):

It is C. Because the fixed value "2" means that it starts with 2 feets. Then "1.5x" means it will grow 1.5 feets per year. And then >= 14
