1. A tree's cross sectional area is called its basal area and is measured in square inches. Tree growth can be measured by the growth of the tree's basal area. The initial base area of tree observed by a biologist is 154
square inches and annual growth rate is 6%. What will be the basal area after 10 years of growth?

5/8 beds for each square yard

Were is the diagram?

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60
