Question 1034533: a gardener is planning two types of rose bushes. a pink rose bush is theee feet tall and grows at a rate of 15 inches per year. a red rose bush is four feet tall and grows at a rate of 10 inches per year.
algebraically determine exactly how many years it will take for these two bushes to be the same height. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The pink rose bush is 3 ft. tall, or 36 in. The red is 48 in.. When the two are the same height, then:
36+15x=48+10x
5x=12
x=12/5 years before they are the same height!!!!!!!!
