@dude

Vocaloid:

if he grows 2 inches per year, we can multiply that by the number of years to find growth in terms of y add that to the 36 he already has what equation might represent this situation?

mikewwe13:

C

Vocaloid:

good

THE TOP QUESTIONS WAS QUESTION 4

mikewwe13:

without s

Vocaloid:

well, since we want to know when h = 72 h=2y+36 72 = 2y + 36 solve for y.

mikewwe13:

18

Vocaloid:

good so y = 18 = your answer

mikewwe13:

y = 18 or just 18

Vocaloid:

it just wants the number so just 18
