Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.

the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.

the full size tree grew by 18 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.

Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2

A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x

Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that

x/2 + x + 3x = 27

Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes

x + 2x + 6x = 54

9x = 54

x = 54/9

x = 6 inches

The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.

The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches

If we were to simplify this it would equal the same equation because this cannot be solved. Due to there being no like terms. We also need to know what x equals which there is no number given here to solve. Have a great day!
