Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
2(6) - 3(6) + 20 + 5(6) - 40 = 4 CORRECT
2(8) - 3(8) + 20 + 5(8) - 40 = 12 WRONG
2(16) - 3(16) + 20 + 5(16) - 40 = 44 WRONG
2(18) - 3(18) + 20 + 5(18) - 40 = 52 WRONG
Answer:
9 years
the tree doubles in height
we can make a model
1 x 2 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
4 x 2 = 8
8 x 2 = 16
16 x 2 = 32
32 x 2 = 64
64 x 2 = 128
128 x 2 = 256
256 x 2 = 512
512 x 2 = 1024
Let's say 1024 is the maximum height
half the maximum height is 1024 x 0.5 = 512 so it will take 9 years because it reached 512 on the 9th year
