Given :

The combined height of one for tree and one Pine tree is 21 m.

The height of four for a tree stacked on top of each other is 24 m taller than one Pine tree.

To Find :

How tall are the types of trees that Logan genetically engineered.

Solution :

Let, height of tree and pine tree is x and y.

So, x + y = 21 ...1)

4x - y = 24 ...2)

Putting value of y from equation 1 to equation 2, we get :

4x - ( 21 - x ) = 24

5x = 45

x = 9 m

y = 21 - x = 21 - 9 = 12

y = 12 m

Therefore, length of tree and pine tree is 9 m and 12 m.
