When Alexander moved into a new house, he planted two trees in his backyard. At the time of planting, Tree A was 36 inches tall and Tree B was 21 inches tall. Each

year thereafter, Tree A grew by 6 inches per year and Tree B grew by 9 inches per

year. Let A represent the height of Tree At years after being planted and let B

represent the height of Tree Bt years after being planted. Write an equation for each

situation, in terms of t, and determine which tree is taller after 3 years.

The equations for each situation are

A = 36 + 6t

B = 21 + 9t

After 3 years, Tree A is taller.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Tree A was 36 inches tall and Tree B was 21 inches tall at the time of planting; and

Tree A grew by 6 inches per year and Tree B grew by 9 inches per  year after planting.

For Tree A,

Given a period of t years after planting, the height would have increased by 6t

∴ A = 36 + 6t

For Tree B,

Given a period of t years after planting, the height would have increased by 9t

∴ B = 21 + 9t

To determine, which tree is taller after 3 years,

t = 3

For Tree A

A = 36 + 6t

A = 36 + 6(3)

A = 36 + 18

A = 54 inches

For Tree B

B = 21 + 9t

B = 21 + 9(3)

B = 21 + 27

B = 48 inches

Hence, After 3 years, Tree A is taller.

it happens during combustion and impacts the environment because the plants and trees take in that and it can cause them to die.

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
