<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

Step-by-step explanation:

The x intercept is represented by the coordinate (x,0) on x axis.

So, to find the x intercept ,we need to equate y=0 in the equation 20x+70y=420

=> 20x+ 70*0=420

=> x=420/20 =21.

x intercept is (21,0).
