Answer:
355
Step-by-step explanation: me
Answer:
a. y = 3x + 4.5 & y = 7x + 2
b. x = 0.625 (year)
c. 6.375 feet
Explanation:
Type A starts at 4.5 and Type B starts at 2 ,each year can be marked as x
type A grow 3 inches per year = 3x
type B grows 7 inches per year = 7x
y = the total height
Since they both equal to y, you can set them equal to each other
3x + 4.5 = 7x +2
After solve you get answer for b
Work: 3x + 4.5 = 7x + 2
4.5 = 4x + 2
2.5 = 4x
0.625 = x
Substitute the value of x you got from part b into each equation then you will get 6.375 as your y value which is also your height
( x + 1 )/ 3 = x + 2
Multiply 3 on both sides
x + 1 = 3x + 6
Subtract 6 on both sides
x - 5 = 3x
Subtract x from both sides
-5 = 2x
Divide 2 from both sides
x = -2.5
This expression cannot be factored with rational numbers. The polynomial is not factorable with rational numbers.
