Question

Jose is 52 inches tall and is growing 0.25 inches each month. Jacob is 54 inches tall and is growing 0.1 inches each month. How many months, x, will it take for Jose to be the same height as Jacob?

Answer 1

Answer:

who measures someone's height in inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 14

Answer 2

It will take 13.3 months for Jose to be the same height with Jacob.

x = number of month

The height equation for Jose:

Jose is already 52 inches tall and growing at 0.25 inches per month. Therefore, his height is represented as follows

• h(x) = 52 + 0.25(x)

The height equation for Jacob:

Jacob is already 54 inches tall and growing at 0.1 inches per month. Therefore, his height is represented as follows

• h(x) = 54 + 0.1x

For both to have the same height,

52 + 0.25x = 54 + 0.1x

52 - 54 = 0.1x - 0.25x

-2 = -0.15x

x = -2 / -0.15

x = 13.3333333333

x = 13.3 months
