Hope this helps!

Answer with explanation:

It is given that tree grows 2.5 cm each day.

Original Height of tree= 5 cm

Let Height of tree after x days =65 cm

So, In the form of equation it can be written as

→ 5 + 2.5 x=65

Subtracting 5 from both sides

→2.5 x+5-5=65-5

→2.5 x=60

Dividing by 2.5 on both sides, gives

→ x=24

Total number of days for which Margo has Owned the plant =24 days
