Question

PLEASE HELP ASP!!!!!!!!!!!A birch tree that is 4 ft tall grows at a rate of 1 ft per year. A larch tree that is 6 ft tall grows at a rate of 0.5 ft per year.

Let the variable t represent time in years and let the variable h represent height in feet.

In how many years will the trees be the same height?

Which system of equations can be used to solve this problem?




{h=1+4th=0.5+6t

{h=4+th=6+0.5t

{h=5th=6.5t

{h=4−th=6−0.5t

Answer 1

4 Years

Explanation:

1:0.5 = 2:1

So, every two years, the birch tree grows 1 foot more than the larch tree

Currently, they are 2 feet apart, so in 4 years, they will be the same height
