Question

"If a tree was 36 inches tall when it had grown to 200% of its original

height (height when it was planted), then what was the tree's original
height

Answer 1

6 + 1.5x = 2x

6 = 0.5x

12 = x

6 + 1.5 (12) = 24

2(12) = 24

It will take them twelve years to have the same height.

They both will be 24 feet when they have the same height.
