A gardener is planting two types of trees: type A is three feet tall and grows at a rate of 15 inches per year. Type B is four feet tall and grows at a rate of 10 inches per year. Algibraically determine exactly how many years it will take for these trees to be the same height.

2.4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

12 inch = 1 foot

Type A tree:

It 3 feet(36 inches) tall and grows at a rate of 15 inches per year.

Thus, the height of tree type A will be given by the equation:

where x is the number of years.

Type B tree:

It 4 feet(48 inches) tall and grows at a rate of 10 inches per year.

Thus, the height of tree type B will be given by the equation:

where x is the number of years.

Let the two tree have equal height after n years, Thus, we can write:

Thus, after 2.4 years the two types of tree will have same height.

y=3n + 1

step-by-step explanation:

this is wrong because it says the second number is one less and i added one instead

step-by-step explanation:

infinity is the answer
