<em>Complete Question:</em>

<em>You plant an 8-inch spruce tree that grows 4 inches per year and a 14-inch hemlock tree that grows 6 inches per year. </em>

<em>The initial heights are shown. </em>

Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation.

Answer:

s(x) = 8 + 4x

h(x) = 14 + 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Spruce Tree (s):

Initial\ Height = 8

Growth = 4 (yearly)

Hemlock Tree (h):

Initial\ Height = 14

Growth = 6 (yearly)

Required

Represent as system of linear equations

Let the number of years be x.

In both cases, the equation can be formed using:

Equation = Initial\ Height + Growth * x

For Spruce Tree (s):

s(x) = 8 + 4 * x

s(x) = 8 + 4x

For Hemlock Tree (h):

h(x) = 14 + 6 * x

h(x) = 14 + 6x

<em>Hence, the equations are </em>s(x) = 8 + 4x<em> and </em>h(x) = 14 + 6x<em></em>

Eight is added to a number and the sum is doubled, the result is -11 less than the number. Find
inna [77]
If you don’t know what a number is, you should substitute it for x and make an equation with the information you have been given. This gives:

(x + 8) x 2 = x - 11

Then, solve:

2x + 16 = x - 11

2x = x -27

x = -27

This can then be checked by using the number in the original text.

-27 + 8 = -19

-19 x 2 = -38

-38 is 11 less than -27.

Hope this helps :)

This composite figure consists of a right triangle and semicircle

The area of a triangle is: 1/2(bh)

The area of a semicircle is 1/2(pi)(r²)

Plug in the values:


1/2( 12)(8)

=48


1/2(3.14)(4²)

=25.12
