Answer:
After 1 year, both the tress will be of the same height.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume in x years, both trees have same height.
Type A is 7 feet tall and grows at a rate of 8 inches per year.
⇒The growth of tree A in x years = x times ( Height growth each year)
= 8 (x) = 8 x
⇒Actual height of tree A in x years = Initial Height + Growth in x years
= 7 + 8 x
or, the height of tree A after x years = 7 + 8x
Type B is 9 feet tall and grows at a rate of 6 inches per year.
⇒The growth of tree B in x years = x times ( Height growth each year)
= 6 (x) = 6 x
⇒Actual height of tree B in x years = Initial Height + Growth in x years
= 9 + 6 x
or, the height of tree B after x years = 9 + 6x
According to the question:
After x years, Height of tree A =Height of tree B
⇒7 + 8x = 9 + 6x
or, 8x - 6x = 9 - 7
or, 2 x = 2
or, x = 2/2 = 1 ⇒ x = 1
Hence, after 1 year, both the tress will be of the same height.
Answer: 27 rows contain 25 vines.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of rows that contain 20 vines.
Let y represent the number of rows that contain 25 vines.
Sarah plants 760 vines in rows containing either 20 vines or 25 vines. This means that
20x + 25y = 760- - - - - - - - - - -1
There are 3 times as many rows containing 25 vines as there are rows containing 20 vines. This means that
y = 3x
Substituting y = 3x into equation 1, it becomes
20x + 25 × 3x = 760
20x + 75x = 760
95x = 760
x = 760/95
x = 9
y = 3x = 3 × 9
y = 27
