Answer: The height of each fir tree is 9 meters, and the height of each pine tree is 12 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= height of each fir tree, y = height of each pine tree.
As per given, we have
x+y = 21 (i)
4x=y+24 (ii)
From (ii),
[tex]4x-y=24[/tex] (iii)
Add (i) and (iii), we get
[tex]5x=45\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{45}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=9[/tex]
Put value of x in (i), we get
[tex]9+y=21\Rightarrow y=12[/tex]
Hence, the height of each fir tree is 9 meters, and the height of each pine tree is 12 meters.
