Question

Please help me, I am bad at math so please help

A gum tree reached a height of 150 ft in 15 years. Cathy and Darla write different equations to find the yearly average growth g of the tree. Cathy writes 15g = 150. Darla writes 150/15 = g. Do these equations have the same solution? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: They have the same solution.

Step-by-step explanation: 15g=150 has an answer of 10 ft. (divide 150 by 15 to get g alone.) 150/15=g has an answer of 10 as well. (Simplify to find g.)

Answer 2

Yes, they have the same answer because because 150/15 = 10 and in the equation 15g = 150, you have to solve it by dividing 150 by 15 which gets 10. Therefor, they are the same.
