<h3>hello!</h3>

Let's solve this equation.

Step 1

Move the numbers to the right:-

5x=2x-3-3

Step 2

Move the x's to the left

5x-2x=-3-3

Notice I use the opposite operation :)

Step 3

Combine like terms

3x=-6x

Step 4

Divide both sides by 3

x=-2

That's the value of x that makes the equation true.

<h3>note:-</h3>

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)

Dina planted a six-foot tree in her backyard which she expects to grow at the rate of 4 feet per year. Find the equation of the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

y = 6 + 4x

After 4 years, the tree would be 22 ft tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let x = the number of years that pass

Let y = the height of the tree (ft)

We're given that the 6-foot tree grows at a rate of 4 ft per year. This means that the height of the tree will be equal to 6 ft, the original height, plus another 4 ft every year that passes.

Height of tree = 6 feet + 4 feet × number of years that pass

y = 6 + 4x

To solve for how tall the tree would be 4 years after Dina plants it, replace x with 4, since 4 years have passed:

y = 6 + 4(4)

y = 6 + 16

y = 22

Therefore, the tree would be 22 ft tall.

I hope this helps!
