Answer:

6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert feet to inches: 3 feet  = 36 inches, 7 feet = 84 inches

Set two equations equal to each other:

First equation, Type A has a slope of 12 (grows 12 inches per year) and a y-intercept of 36 (it starts 36 inches (or 3 feet) tall)

Second equation, Type B has a slope of 4 (grows 4 inches per year) and a y-intercept of 84 (starts at 84 inches (or 7 feet) tall)

12x + 36 = 4x + 84

subtract 36 from both sides

12x = 4x + 48

subtract 4x from both sides

8x = 48

divide by 8 on both sides

x = 6

It will take the tree types 6 years to be the same height

Hope that helps!

which are steps in the process of completing the square used to solve the equation 3-4x=5xsquared -14x?
givi [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in completing the square is to make the leading coefficient 1.

3 − 4x = 5x² − 14x

First, add 4x to both sides.

3 = 5x² − 10x

Divide both sides by 5.

3/5 = x² − 2x

The next step is to create the square.  Take half of -2, square it, then add the result to both sides. (-2/2)² = 1.

3/5 + 1 = x² − 2x + 1

8/5 = x² − 2x + 1

Finally, factor the perfect square and solve for x.

8/5 = (x − 1)²

Take the square root of both sides.

±√(8/5) = x − 1

Add 1 to both sides.

x = 1 ± √(8/5)

Given m||n, find the value of x.
loris [4]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles add to a straight line, so they add to 180

6x-5 + 6x+5 = 180

Combine like terms

12x = 180

Divide by 12

12x/12 =180/12

x =15
