Question 271804: You plant a 14 inch hemlock tree in your back yard that grows at a rate of 4 inches per year and an 8 inch blue spuce tree that grows at a rate of 6 inches per year. In how many years after you plant the trees will the two trees be the same height? And how tall will they be?

4x + 6y = 365
x + y = 2
