Below is the solution:

There are two equations to be solved here.  The first one we assign variables to the home runs Peter hits, P, and Alice hits, A. P=2*(A-6) The second equation is the sum of both players home runs.P + A = 18Solving for P yieldsP=18-A We substitute the solution for P into the first equation and solve for A.(18-A) = 2*(A-6)18 - A = 2A - 123A = 30A = 10 Now that A is known, we can plug it into either equations for P to find how many home runs Peter hitsP=18 - (10) = 8orP=2((10)-4) = 8

(1 & 2/3) ft = (1 ft) + (2/3 ft)

(1 & 2/3) ft = 12 inches + 12*(2/3) inches

(1 & 2/3) ft = 12 inches + 8 inches

(1 & 2/3) ft = 20 inches

If the tree grows 5 inches per year, then it will take 4 years to get to 20 inches since 5*4 = 20. You can also divide to get 20/5 = 4.

So it takes 4 years for the tree to grow 1&2/3 feet tall.
