Answer:
z=34
Step-by-step explanation:
2 + 8 - z = -24
add
10-z = -24
subtract 10 from each side
10-z-10 = -24-10
-z = -34
multiply by -1
-1*-z = -34 * -1
z = 34
Tree A grew slower.
4.15 is less than 4.2 and Tree A is growing at the “lesser” rate, making it the slower growing tree.
Note that you take out whatever can be a whole number, and leave the rest over the denominator
5 x 3 = 15
17 - 15 = 2
3 2/5 is your answer in simplest form (as it cannot be simplified anymore)
hope this helps
