A 1,248 foot tree has grown at a constant rate each year in the equation below , t is the age of the tree in years
26t=1,248
To find the rate at which the tree grows each year, we need to solve the equation for t.
26t = 1,248
Divide both sides of the equation by 26 to isolate t:
t = 1,248 / 26
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
t = 48
Therefore, the tree grows at a rate of 48 feet per year.
