Answer 1

Answer:

Apple- 14 Maple- 154

Step-by-step explanation

Since 11 x n - n is equal to a number that ends in 10, 20 etc. and the number has to be a multiple of 11 for the maple tree, and the difference has to stay the same throughout two all we need to find is 15 x n = a number that is divisable by 10. 15 x 10 = 150 so that's the age of the trees this year, and the difference between the trees is 140 so it corresponds with our rule. and the multiple of 11 that the difference is 140 is 11 x 14 = 154 and 154 - 11 = 140. Therefore the apple tree is 14 years old and the maple tree is 154 years old.
