Answer:

who measures someone's height in inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 14

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
