Jasmine buys a tree that grows 3 cm each day it was 4 cm when she bought it and now it is 52 cm tall which equation can be used to determine how many days jasmine had the tree

Answer: 3x + 4 = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the numbers of days because we don't know how many days jasmine had the tree and that's what we are trying to find.

Since it grows 3 centimeters each day we can put it as 3x

For example:

if it grows 5 days and 3 centimeters each day then you just do 5 times three. So it makes sense why you put 3x.

We already know that it was 4 cm in the beginning so we can just add it to the equation.

All of this has to equal to 52 because now the tree is 52 cm.

So the answer is 3x + 4 = 52

16 days

Step-by-step explanation:

52 cm - 4 = 48

48 / 3 = 16 days
