Rank and alice are penguins. at birth, frank's beak was 1.95 inches long, while alice's was 1.50 inches long. homework ✎ frank's beak grows by 0.25 inches per year and alice's grows by 0.40 inches per year. write an equation to represent the length of each penguin's beak in x years. how old will they be when their beaks are the same length?

F for Frank, A or Alice. F(initial)=1.95 inches A(initial)=1.50 inches Frank's equation at .25 inches per year and t representing year variable. F=1.95+.25t Alice's equation at .40 inches per year and t representing year variable. A=1.5+.40t To figure out how old they will be when their beaks are the same lengths set the equations equal to eachother as the equations are length. 1.95+.25t=1.5+.40t .45=.15t t=3 years
