0.25 inch per day. On which day were plant A and plant B the same height?
A day 5
B.
day 8
C. day 12
D.
day 16


Sagot :

The heights of plant A and plant B will be equal on the day 8.

How to find the heights of the trees?

The height of the tree can be found as follows:

The equation for plant A can be described as follows:

y = 1 + 0.5x

where

x = number of days

y = height

The equation for plant B can be described as follows:

y = 3 + 0.25x

Therefore, for the height to be equal

1 + 0.5x =  3 + 0.25x

1 - 3 = 0.25x  - 0.5x

-2 = -0.25x

x = 2 / 0.25

x = 8 days
