Jon has two trees in his yard. one is 20 feet taller than the other. if we let h h be the height of the shorter tree, write an algebraic expression for the sum of the two trees' heights. be sure to simplify your expression.

Answer :

If one tree has the height that equals has, then the other one has the height of "h+20", which brings us to the sum = h + (h + 20)= 2h + 20

Answer:

[tex]2h+20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that there are two trees in Jon yard, where one tree is 20 feet taller than the other.

We need to find the algebraic expression for the sum of the two trees' heights.

So, in order to solve that we first need to find the height of individual trees then we have to add.

Also, It is given that the height of the smaller tree is h.

So, height of the larger tree is [tex]h+20[/tex]

Now, the total height of both the trees [tex]=h+h+20[/tex]

[tex]=2h+20[/tex]

Hence, the total height of both the trees is [tex]2h+20[/tex].
