Systems of Equations by Substitution On the windowsill is a plant that is 3 inches tall. It is growing 3 inches per week. A second plant, which is 8 inches tall, is on a coffee table. It is growing 2 inches per week. Eventually, the two plants will be the same height. How tall will the plants be when they are the same height?

Second Part

On the windowsill is a plant that is 3 inches tall. It is growing 3 inches per week. A second plant, which is 8 inches tall, is on a coffee table. It is growing 2 inches per week. Eventually, the two plants will be the same height. How many weeks will it take them to be the same height?

Show steps please and thank you

ok then what happened.

the area of a triangle is determined by the formula: base x height * 1/2

you'll need to assign a base to the triangle. based on the vertices given, the simplest base would be the line segment from (-2,1) to (2,1). the distance between any two numbers is found by just subtracting them. here, you should subtract the x values to find the distance of this side.

2 - (-2) = 4.

so the distance (aka the length of the base) is 4. the height of the triangle is the distance between the base and the highest point on the triangle which is (3,4). we should subtract the y values this time to find the height/distance.

4 - 1 = 3

so the height is 3.

base = 4

height = 3

hope this if needed hmu
