Use the graph to determine and interpret the solution.



A 4 cm bean plant grows at a rate of StartFraction one-half EndFraction. cm per week. A 5.5 cm flower grows at a rate of StartFraction one-fourth EndFraction. cm per week. If h is the height of the plant in centimeters and t is the number of weeks, then the system of equations is:

h = h equals StartFraction one-half EndFraction t plus 4.t + 4

h = h equals StartFraction one-fourth EndFraction t plus 5.5.t + 5.5

The solution to the system,
, means that the plants will both be
centimeters tall after
weeks.
