When Makayla moved into a new house, she planted two trees in her backyard. At the time of planting, Tree A was 19 inches tall and Tree B was 35 inches tall. Each year
thereafter, Tree A grew by 6 inches per year and Tree B grew by 2 inches per year. Let
A represent the height of Tree At years after being planted and let B represent the
height of Tree B t years after being planted. Write an equation for each situation, in
terms of t, and determine the number of years after the trees were planted when both
trees have an equal height.

A=6t+29

B=3t+35

Same height in 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A=6t+19

B=2t+35

4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A-
