Answer:

16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

For the first tree

let the expression for the height be

y=4+x--------------1

where y= the total height

          4= the initial height

          x= the number of years

For the second tree, the expression is

y=12+0.5x-------------2

Equate 1 and 2

4+x=12+0.5x

x-0.5x=12-4

0.5x= 8

x= 8/0.5

x=16

Hence it will take 16 years for both trees to have the same height

Oscar drew the image of a
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

When we have a point (x, y) and we do a reflection over a given line, we know that the new point (x', y') will be at the same distance from the line as our initial point (x,y).

Now, in this case, we have a reflection over the line y = -1. (this line is parallel to the x-axis)

But in the image, we can see that the reflected triangle is drawn in the other side of the y-axis, this means that the reflection was made in a line parallel to the y-axis.

Then the mistake that Oscar did is that he reflected over the wrong line, seems that he reflected the triangle over the line x = -1 instead of the line y = -1.
