Answer:
c (0,-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x+y = -4
4x - 4y =16
Solve the first equation for y since we are using substitution.
-5x+y = -4
Add 5x to each side
-5x+5x+y = -4+5x
y = 5x-4
Substitute this equation y = 5x-4 into the second equation.
4x -4(5x-4) = 16
Distribute the -4
4x - 4(5x) -4(-4) = 16
4x-20x +16 = 16
Combine like terms
-16x +16 =16
Subtract 16 from each side
-16x+16-16 = 16-16
-16x =0
Divide by -16
x=0
But we still need to find y
y = 5x-4
y = 5(0) -4
y = -4
5 years because when you divide 90 by 18 to get how many years it takes the tree to grow to 90 inches tall, you get 5.
