Question

A Gardner is planting two types of trees

Answer 1

so what you would do is set up your equations. your equations are 9+6x (type a) and 16x+4(type b). set them equal to each other since you want to know how many years it would take them to be the same height.

9+6x=4+16x

get your x values on one side

so it would be like this:

9+6x=4+16x subtract 6x from 16x and subtract 4 from 9

your equation will now be this:

10x=5

divide 10 on both sides and you get 1/2.

so both plants will grow the same height in 1/2 of a year

hope that helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

108 + 6x

48 + 16x

108 + 6x = 48 + 16x

-6x = -60

6x = 60

X = 10
