It will take exactly 4 years for these trees to be the same height
Step-by-step explanation:
A gardener is planting two types of trees:
- Type A is 3 feet tall and grows at a rate of 7 inches per year
- Type B is 5 feet tall and grows at a rate of 1 inches per year
We need to find in how many years it will take for these trees to be the
same height
Assume that it will take x years for these trees to be the same height
The height of a tree = initial height + rate of grow × number of years
Type A:
∵ The initial height = 3 feet
∵ 1 foot = 12 inches
∴ The initial height = 3 × 12 = 36 inches
∵ The rate of grows = 7 inches per year
∵ The number of year = x
∴ = 36 + (7) x
∴ = 36 + 7 x
Type B:
∵ The initial height = 5 feet
∴ The initial height = 5 × 12 = 60 inches
∵ The rate of grows = 1 inches per year
∵ The number of year = x
∴ = 60 + (1) x
∴ = 60 + x
Equate and
∴ 36 + 7 x = 60 + x
- Subtract x from both sides
∴ 36 + 6 x = 60
- Subtract 36 from both sides
∴ 6 x = 24
- Divide both sides by 6
∴ x = 4
∴ The two trees will be in the same height in 4 years
It will take exactly 4 years for these trees to be the same height

Answer:
200 resource books
800 fiction books
400 nonfiction books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define x as the amount of resource books that are in the library. As he has four times as many fiction books as resource books, that means he has 4*x fiction books.
We also know he has half as many nonfiction books as fiction books, that is 1/2*4*x = 2*x nonfiction books.
We just need to find out the value of x.
We know there are 1,400 books in total and there are just 3 types of books. Therefore, if we sum all of them, we get the 1,400.
Written in math language, that is
x + 4x + 2x = 1,400
7x = 1,400
We divide by 7 on both sides and we get
7/7x = 1,400/7
x = 200
Now we replace the x with 200 to know how many books he has of each type:
Resource books = x = 200
Fiction books = 4*x = 4*200 = 800
Nonfiction books = 2*x = 2*200 = 400
Therefore, there are 200 resource books, 800 fiction books and 400 nonfiction books in the library.
