In 5 years one California Palm tree grew = 85 inches.
Then in 1 year the California palm tree grew = (85/5) inches
= 17 inches
Again
A queen palm tree in 8 years grew = 96 inches
In 1 year the queen palm tree grew = (96/8) inches
= 12 inches.
So the California palm tree is growing at a faster rate than the queen palm tree. This is the easiest way of solving this kind of problems. Hope that i have explained the problem enough for you to understand and attempt such problems in the future without anyone's help.

Complentary angles add to 90 degrees
a and b are complentary
a+b=90
a=7x+4
b=4x+9
so
7x+4+4x+9=90
combine like terms
11x+13=90
minus 13 both sides
11x=77
divide both sides by 11
x=7
m a =7x+4=7(7)+4=49+4=53
m b=4x+9=4(7)+9=28+9=37
angle a measures 53 degrees
angle b measures 37 degrees
L=16
W=21
Set up a systems of equations:
x=length
y=width
xy=336
x+5=y
Use substitution to solve:
x(x+5)=336
x^2+5x=336
Solve using factoring:
x^2+5x-336=0
(x-16)(x+21)=0
x=16 and x= -21
Since length can't be negative, l=16
To find width, plug length into the first equation:
(16)y=336
y=21
So...
L=16
