Answer:

4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let the number of months it takes for their heights to equal be x and let h(x) be the height after x months.

#For plant 1, we equate height after x months as:

h(x)=6+3x

#For plant 2, we equate height after x months and at a constant rate m:

h(x)=2+mx

#we equate and solve for rate of growth, m in plant 2 as below:

h(x)=2+mx\\\\but\  h(12)=50\\\\\therefore r=\frac{50-2}{12}\\\\r=4 \ inches/month

#We then equate the two heights after x months to solve for x:

h(x)_1=h(x)_2\\\\6+3x=2+4x\\\\6-2=4x-3x\\\\x=4

Hence, the plants have the same height after 4 months

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1) b, c, d

2) d

3) a, c, d

Step-by-step explanation:

Just find the number that can divide by the whole. Say the question was

A pet shop have 20 pets. The same amount of pets are in each room. How many rroms could there be?

If there were 4 rooms, 5 pets would be in each. 20÷4=5. 4 goes into 20 so 4 could be an answer.

If there were 3 rooms, 6 rooms would have 3 pets and 2 would be left over. So it wouldn't work. You just need to find the number that goes into the whole with no remainder.
