Answer:


y=(80)/(x)


80\ \text{years}

Explanation:

Number of years is y

Number of trees planted every year is x

Here x = 1

Number of trees planted is 95. The person began with 15 trees.

The product of the number of trees planted each year and the number of years that have passed


95=15+xy\\\Rightarrow y=(80)/(x)\\\Rightarrow y=(80)/(1)\\\Rightarrow y=80\ \text{years}

The number of years it will take to plant 95 trees is given by the expression
y=(80)/(x). The number of years it will take is
80\ \text{years}.
