Let x be one number and y be the other.
#1 - Set up a system of equations.
4x = y
x + y = 45
#2 - Solve the system by substitution.
x + (4x) = 45
5x = 45
x = 9
(9) + y = 45
y = 36
-2-w is equivalent to -24 - 12w all you have to do is simplify the expression!
Answer:
<h2>0.15 inches per month</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
step one:
This problem is focused on the growth rate of a plant.
given data
the plants grow 5 inches in 34 months
and also that 1 month= 4 weeks
step two:
We can still say that
if 34 months see a growth of 5 inches
then 1 months will be X inches
cross multiply we have
X= 5/32 inches
step three:
converting this number to decimal we have
X= 0.15 inches per month
Therefore the growth rate would be
0.15 inches per month
