Let #x# be the number of days the sunflower has been planted for and let #h# be the height of the sunflower.
The equation to find the height of the sunflower after a given number of days would be #h = 6 + 1.5(x-1)# since the sunflower is already #6# inches tall and will only start growing at a rate of #1.5# inches per day on the day after it has been planted.
