To rewrite the equation by subtracting \(2t\) from both sides, start with the given heights of Plant A and Plant C:
\[
4 + 2t = 8 + 2t
\]
Now, we subtract \(2t\) from both sides:
\[
4 + 2t - 2t = 8 + 2t - 2t
\]
Which simplifies to:
\[
4 = 8
\]
This result indicates that the equations \(h=4+2t\) and \(h=8+2t\) do not hold true simultaneously, as 4 does not equal 8. Therefore, the height equations for Plant A and Plant C cannot be equal for any value of \(t\).
\[
4 + 2t = 8 + 2t
\]
Now, we subtract \(2t\) from both sides:
\[
4 + 2t - 2t = 8 + 2t - 2t
\]
Which simplifies to:
\[
4 = 8
\]
This result indicates that the equations \(h=4+2t\) and \(h=8+2t\) do not hold true simultaneously, as 4 does not equal 8. Therefore, the height equations for Plant A and Plant C cannot be equal for any value of \(t\).
