8) a gardener is planting two types of trees. the oak tree is currently 3 feet tall and grows at a
rate of 15 inches per year. the maple tree is currently 4 feet tall and grows at rate of 10
inches per year. write and solve an equation that will you determine after how
many years it will take for these two trees to be the same height. hint: pay attention to units.

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60
