Question

Michael is building a tower of blocks on top of a bench. The bench is 16 inches high, and each block is 3 inches high. Which of the following functions correctly relates the total height of the tower (including the bench) h, in inches, to the number of blocks b?

h = 3b - 16
h = 3b + 16
h = 16b - 3
h = 16b + 3

hint Hint:

simply add
total height of the tower = bench height + total blocks heights

The correct answer is: h = 3b + 16
