A 3-foot tree is planted, and it grows 4 feet per year. If another 3-foot tree is planted two years later but it grows at 5 feet per year, how many years after the second tree is planted will it take to catch up to the first tree?

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation: if you use a table and write down the growth of both trees per year they would be the same height after three years
