Answer:

7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Bamboo plant A = 1.2 + 0.45d

Bamboo plant B = 0.85 + 0.5d

Where,

d = number of days

Equate the two growth

Bamboo plant A = Bamboo plant B

1.2 + 0.45d = 0.85 + 0.5d

Collect like terms

1.2 - 0.85 = 0.5d - 0.45d

0.35 = 0.05d

Divide both sides by 0.05

d = 0.35 / 0.05

d = 7 days

Plant B be taller than Plant A after 7 days
