by 10 years it'll be 24439 but by 11 it'll be 25661 so it's technically 11 years
Let's take the number as x.
two-fifths of a number = 2x / 5
decreased by 3 = (2x/5) - 3
(2x/5) - 3
(2*25/5) - 3
(2*5) - 3
10 - 3
7
(24, 12) and (36, 0). The least amount of flowering plants occurs when x=2y, and the largest amount occurs when y=0. These two points satisfy both conditions and both sum to 36.
The rise is 25...............
