A scientist conducts an experiment with two
trees over many years. the shorter tree has fertilizer
applied to it, and the taller tree does not. the shorter
tree grows at an average rate of 8 inches per year. the
taller tree grows at an average rate of 6 inches per year.
a. complete the equation to represent the trees having
the same height after t years:
50+8t=
b. after how many years will the heights of the two
trees be equal?

c. what will be the height of the trees when they are the same height?
