    The height of the in inches after 30 day is 40.6 inches.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The initial height of the plant = 7 inches

    The increase in height for first 27 days = 1.3 inches per day

    So, increase in height in 27 days = 27 x (per day increase) = (27 x 1.2) in

    Now, the total length of plant after 27 days

    = Initial height + (increase in height in 27 days)

    = 7 inches + (1.3 x 27) in = 7 + 35.1

    = 42.1 inches

    So, at the end of 27 days, the height of plant = 42.1 inches

    Now, the decrease in height for each 3 next days = 0.5 inches per day

    So, decrease in height in 3 days = 3 x (per day decrease) = (0.5 x 3) in

    ⇒The total length of plant after 30 days

    = The height after 27 days - (decrease in height in 3 days)

    = 42. 1 inches - (0.5 x 3) in = 42.1 - 1.5

    = 40.6 inches

    Hence, the height of the in inches after 30 day is 40.6 inches.
