<h2>Height of tree is 7.5 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the height of pole.

Given that the tree is 5 feet shorter than a pole.

Height of pole = t + 15

Also given that the pole is 3 times as tall as the tree.

Height of pole = 3t

So we have

              t + 15 = 3t

                 2t = 15

                   t = 7.5 feet

Height of tree = 7.5 feet

TEA [102]

Answer:

You cannot simplify this problem down anymore; it is at its simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot add together x^4 and x^2 due to the simple fact that they do not share similar exponents.

For example you could add together x^4 and x^4 to get 2x^4. But you cannot add x^4 and x^2.

Same thing applies for these points.
