To see if it is possible, you will want to create an equation.

3(4x+2) = 6(2x+2)

As you can see, you will need to use the distributive property for this equation.

12x + 6 = 12x + 12

Remove 6 from both sides.

12x = 12x + 6

Divide 12 by both sides

x = x + 0.5

Because the answer wasn't x = x, the two plants won't ever be the same height. Even if you tried to subtract 0.5, you'd only get a negative 0.5 on the other side.
