At Paul Bunyan’s tree farm they sell Fraser firs and blue spruce trees. They plant saplings of these two kinds of trees that are 8 inches in 5 inches tall, respectively. The Fraser firs grow at a constant rate of 12 inches per year, and a blue spruce trees grow at a constant rate of 14 inches per year. After how many years will these trees be at the same height? Express your answer as a common fraction.

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write the next expressions::  

Height 1= 8 +12 y

Height 2 =5 +14y

Where y = number of years

Since both heights must be the same

Height 1 = height 2

8+12y = 5+14y

solving for y:

8-5 =14y-12y

3 = 2y

3/2 =y

y = 3/2 years

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

can you post the graph?
