Malcolm planted two trees in his yard. One tree is 50 inches tall and grows
at a rate of 2 inches per month. The other tree is 59 inches tall and grows
at a rate of 1 inch per month. How many months will it take until both
trees are the same height?

Respuesta :

First make an equation for first tree
Y=2x+50
Then second tree
Y=1x+59
Then put them equal to eachother
2x+50=1x+59
Solve by subtracting 1x and then subtracting 50
Answer= x=9
9 months
