Answer:
12 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
let the heights of the plants be y
and the number of weeks be x
Plant A
y=3x+8.5--------------1
Plant B
y=2.5x+14.5----------2
Required
The number of weeks taken for both plants to have the same height
,equate the two expressions above
3x+8.5=2.5x+14.5
3x-2.5x=14.5-8.5
0.5x= 6
divide both sides by 0.5
x= 6/0.5
x= 12 weeks
The equation y = x + 8 uses the slope intercept form
Remember that the slope intercept formula is:
y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
In this case
y = 1x + 8
m = 1
y = x + 8
b = 8 OR y-intercept of this line is (0, 8)
You can plot the point (0, 8) on a graph. Then to find the next point you will rise up 1 and over right 1 (this is the slope). You can find another point after that by going down one and left one from the point (0, 8)
The graph should look like the one in the image below

Answer:
The rational number equivalent to 3.24 repeating is 321/99
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert the decimal number to a rational number we can state this number and its multiples of 10, trying to find two number with identical decimal parts:
n=3.24242424...
10n=32.4242424....
100n=324.2424242...
Now, 100n and n have the same decimal part, then by subtracting these numbers we obtain:
100n-n=324.24242424...-3.24242424... = 321
99n = 321
n = 321/99
