Looking at the graph, trace your finger up from 10 on the x-axis. You will end up somewhere around 17.
Therefore, the approximate height of the tree after 10 years will be 17 feet.
4n - 9 + 3n + 5 + n = 68
combine like terms
8n - 4 = 68
addition property of equations
8n = 72
division property of equality
n = 9
SIDES:
n = 9
3n + 5 = 32
[ 3(9) + 5 = 32 ]
4n - 9 = 27
[ 4(9) - 9 = 27 ]

An expression of the form

is called a "compound fraction"
Compound fractions can be written as simple fractions by multiplying c to a, and then adding the product to c as follows:

for example,

can be written as:

2.
when we subtract or add a fraction

from an integer k,
we first write k as a fraction with denominator n. We can do this as follows:

for example, if we want to subtract

from 8,
we first write 8 as a fraction with denominator 2:

3.
Thus,

4.
The simple fraction 7/2 is not an option, so we write it as a compound fraction as follows:

(So write 7 as the sum of the largest multiple of 2, smaller than 7 + what is left. In our case these numbers are 6 and 1, then proceed as shown)
5. Answer: D
3.25 is your answer! When rounding to the nearest hundredth, the third number away from the decimal must be 5-9 to round up, and 4-0 to stay the same
