Samiya bought a tree 3 inches long. Each year, the tree expected to grow 5 inches. How long (How many years) it takes the tree to reach the height of 8 feet (or 96 inches)?

19 years to reach 98 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Its already 3 inches tall, if it grows 5 inches every year or expected to it would take : 3 + 5 = 8

8 + 5 = 13

13 + 5 = 18

18 + 5 = 23

23 + 5 = 28

28 + 5 = 33

33 + 5 = 38

38 + 5 = 43

43 + 5 = 48

48 + 5 = 53

And it goes on until 98 inches. Leaving your answer : 19 years.

= 5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the 15th term substitute n = 15 into the nth term formula

= (- 3 × 15 ) + 50 = - 45 + 50 = 5
