holly's favorite book is about johnny appleseed, the american pioneer who planted apple trees all across the country. inspired by the story, holly plants an apple seed in her backyard and tends the seed as it slowly grows into a tree. the proportional relationship between the age of holly's apple tree (in years), x, and the height of the tree (in feet), y, can be modeled by the equation y = 1.5x.

if the tree is 5.25 feet tall, how many years has the tree grown?

  3.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Fill in the given number and solve for x.

  y = 1.5x

  5.25 = 1.5x . . . . . . with given height in feet

  5.25/1.5 = x = 3.5 . . . . . divide by 1.5 to find age in years

The tree has grown for 3.5 years.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
