Answer:

19 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height of tree when Samiya bought the tree = 3 inches

Growth in the height of tree every year = 5 inches

Number of years = y

Growth in the height of tree in y years = 5 inches multiplied by number of years

Growth in the height of tree in y years = 5y inches

To find:

Number of years taken by the tree to be 8 ft or 96 inches.

Solution:

The equation for height of tree after y years can be written as:

3 + 5y which is to be compared with 96 inches.

Therefore, the equation is:

3 + 5y = 96\\\Rightarrow 5y=93\\\Rightarrow y \approx 19

Therefore, it will take <em>19 years</em> for the tree to reach a height of 96 inches.
