1-7 A botanist is studying the development of a bamboo plant.
She started keeping a log of its growth 25 weeks ago.
Since then, the plant has grown an average of inch each
week. Every 5 weeks, she trims 22 inches off the top of the
bamboo plant. Its current height is 5 feet.
1. Write an equation to represent the plant's growth since the
botanist started keeping her log. How much has the plant grown?
2. What is the change in the plant's height from being trimmed?
