2x + y = 3
3x - y = 12
Add both equations
5x = 15, x = 3
2(3) + y = 3
6 + y = 3, y = -3
Solution: x = 3, y = -3... or (3,-3)

The second time the basketball bounces it reaches a height of
. Therefore, after b rebounds the height that the basketball will reach is given by:

Answer:
Middle: 2.5 ft
Right: 4,375 ft
Left: 1,875 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a tree in the middle is 2.5 feet tall.
Now the tree on the left measures 3/4 of the tree in the middle, therefore:
2.5 * 3/4 = 1.875
Which means that the tree on the left is 1.875 feet tall.
Finally the tree on the right 1 3/4, which would be 1.75 times the tree in the middle, therefore:
2.5 * 1.75 = 4.375
Therefore the tree on the right is 4.375 feet tall.
