Svetlana can allow her hair to grow for 10 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current length of hair = 3cm

Growth per month = 1.5cm

Let, m be the number of months.

As she wants her hair no longer than 18cm, therefore, according to given statement;

1.5m + current length of her hair ≤ 18

[tex]1.5m+3\leq 18\\1.5m\leq 18-3\\1.5m\leq 15[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 1.5

[tex]\frac{1.5m}{1.5}\leq \frac{15}{1.5}\\m\leq 10[/tex]

Svetlana can allow her hair to grow for 10 months.
