    this can be solved by generating 2 equations

    let

    x be the length of the shorter tree

    y is the length of the longer tree

    the dollar tree is 1 foot shorter than five times the height of the smaller tree.

    Y - 1 = 5x

    X + y = 60

    Solving the two equation simultaneously

    X = 9.8 ft

    Y = 51.2 ft
