Answer:
D) p³ + 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 29.
Step-by-step explanation:
Illiana cubed (³) the number of original plants, p, in the garden. Then, she added 2 more plants. We will use n for the number of total plants.
So, the equation should be p³ + 2. Substitute our value for p into the equation and solve.
p³ + 2 = n
3³ + 2 = n
27 + 2 = n
29 = n
There are 29 total plants.
The answer, then, is the last option, p³ + 2; when p = 3 the number of plants is 29.
Good luck ^^
