First convert the feet to inches:
3 feet= 36 in.; 4 feet=48 in.
Make an equation for each one:
Type A: h=36+15x
Type B: h=48+10x
Since the questions wants the heights to be equal, h=h so you can substitute so you have:
36+15x=48+10x
5x=12
x=2 2/5 years or 2.4 years
Remember y=mx+b
Since y=2 that means it is a horizontal line at 2 on the y axis which means it does not have a slope. The slope would be zero.
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 7 =2(2x +7) - 5
8x - 7 =4x +14 - 5
8x - 7 =4x +9
8x - 4x =9 +7
4x =16
x=16 :4
x=4
As a fraction: 287/100
As a mixed number: 2 87/100
_____
Remember, "%" means exactly the same thing as "/100".
