A tree that is 4 ft tall is growing at a rate of 1 ft each year a tree that is 12 feet tall is growing at a rate of 1/2 ft each year how many years will it take the two trees to reach the same height

16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

For the first tree

let the expression for the height be

y=4+x1

where y= the total height

          4= the initial height

          x= the number of years

For the second tree, the expression is

y=12+0.5x2

Equate 1 and 2

4+x=12+0.5x

x-0.5x=12-4

0.5x= 8

x= 8/0.5

x=16

Hence it will take 16 years for both trees to have the same height

y = - 6

step-by-step explanation:

given the point (- 2, y) lies on the graph then it is a solution of it's equation.

substitute x = - 2 into the equation for value of y

y = 3(- 2) = 3 × - 2 = - 6

the point on the graph is (- 2, 6)

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.
