    2.4 years

    Step-by-step explanation:

    you have to first convert the trees' heights into inches. three feet is equivalent to 36 inches and four feet is equivalent to 48 inches. Since three A grows at 15 inches a year it'll become a the expression 15x+36 and the expression for tree B will be 10x+48. You set them up to each other and simplify it.

    15x+36=10x+48

    -10x - 10x

    5x+36=48

    -36 - 36

    5x=12

    /5 / 5

    x=2.4

    So it'll be 2.4 years
