Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know:
</span>
<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span>
.
From the above equation we get
.
then
Solving the above equation for y we get:
So
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.

Answer:
Therefore the number of brown shells in each necklace was = 2 brown shells.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Julie made identical necklaces then we can say that number of each different colored shells were equally distributed among the necklaces.
So we can say that to find the number of necklaces we have to find the GCD (greatest common denominator) of the different colored shells.
Therefore the GCD of 10, 15 and 20 is 5.
Therefore Julia made 5 necklaces.
Therefore the number of brown shells in each necklace was = 
= 2 shells.
The equation would be:
x - 9 < 4
Simplify (add 9)
Solution: x < 13
2x + 6y = 12
2x - 2x + 6y = 12 - 2x
6y = 12 - 2x
6y/6 = 12/6 - 2x/6
Y = 2 - 2/6 X
Y = 2 - 1/3 X or
Y = -1/3 X + 2.
