You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are 2 adults who plant 'z' trees. So there are $\"2z\"$ trees that have been planted by adults total. Because there are 8 students and they each plant a single tree, this means that there are $\"8%2A1=8\"$ trees planted by students total. In total, the club has planted $\"2z%2B8\"$ trees\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now since \"the group planted at least 12 trees\" (at least being the key word here), this means that they planted 12 or more trees. So the inequality is $\"2z%2B8%3E=12\"$ . I'll leave it to you to solve it. \n" ); document.write( "
