    Height of tree is 7.5 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let t be the height of pole.

    Given that the tree is 5 feet shorter than a pole.

    Height of pole = t + 15

    Also given that the pole is 3 times as tall as the tree.

    Height of pole = 3t

    So we have

    t + 15 = 3t

    2t = 15

    t = 7.5 feet

    Height of tree = 7.5 feet
