Agardner plants two trees
type a is 9 feet tall and grows a rate of 17 inches per year
type b is 2 feet tall and grows a rate of 24 in per year
algebraically determine exactly how many years it will take for these trees to be the same height

After 12 yrs the height of both trees type A and type B will be same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of Type A at the time of planting =

Height of Type B at the time of planting =  

Let the number of years be 'x'.

After 'x' years height of Type A =

After 'x' years height of Type B =

We have to find out the number of years will take for these trees to be the same height.

Now according to question, after 'x' years the height of plant type A and plant type B will be equal.

Combining the like terms, we get;

Hence After 12 yrs the height of both trees type A and type B will be same.

step-by-step explanation: yes
