2.) You plant a 14-inch hemlock tree in your backyard that grows at a rate of 4 inches per year and an 8 inch blue spruce that grows at a rate of 6 inches per year. In how many years after you plant the trees will the trees be the same height? How tall will each tree be? Thank you. I did not understand neither problem, so I could not show any work. Please help.

Laura Molck pose la question :
My name is Laura Molck and I am in Year 11 in Australia. Please help me with the following. I know that they are all simultaneous equations which I can do but I have trouble with the formulae to work the equations. Can you please help!!

1. A tent manufacturer produces 2 models, Outback and Bushwalker. From earlier sales records it is known that 20% more of the Outback model is sold than the Bushwalker. A profit of $200 is made on each Outback sold, but $350 is made on each Bushwalker. If during the next year a profit of $177,000 is planned how many of each model must be sold?

Jason Bussey pose la question :
The linear systems with the following pattern all have the same solution. Is their some kind of reasoning as to why this is so?

2x+3y=4
3x+4y=5

4x+5y=6
5x+6y=7

The solution is always x=-1, y=2

Thank you
Jason
