5. Height of the tree y in centimeters after x number of months is y = 1.52x + 53.06. Predict how many months it will take before the tree is 120 cm tall.

Answer

To find how many months it will take for the tree to be 120 cm tall, set y = 120 and solve for x:

120 = 1.52x + 53.06

Subtract 53.06 from both sides:

66.94 = 1.52x

Divide both sides by 1.52:

x = 66.94 / 1.52 ≈ 44.04

Answer: 44.04 months
