1 feet = 12 inches
3 feets= 36 inches
8 feets = 96 inches
hope this helps
Assume the year that it would take to these trees have the same height is : x (years)
After x years, type A tree has heigth: 36 +23x (inches)
After x years, type B tree has heigth: 96 +17x (inches)
We have 36+23x = 96+17x
Solve the equation, we have x=10
Conclusion: It will take 10 years to these trees have the same height.
