Question

HELP I tried it but I don't see where this is going, and I don't even know what equation I would put to finish.. please help

Answer 1

find the equations that tell their height
starting+growth=current height
starting=1
growth=2 times number of months grown
so
1+2m=h

another one is 11 and grows at 1 per month
11+1m=h

when will heights be equal?
set them equal and solve for the numberof months
1+2m=11+1m
minus 1m both sides
1+m=11
minus 1
m=10

answer is 10 months
