Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c = Carter's height
Let a = Angela's height
c = a + 5
If they were both the same height, the equation would be
c = a, but Angela needs 5 more inches to equal Carter, so it takes Angela's height plus 5 more inches to equal Carter's height.
x-5=carter's height
the x represents carter's height and since angela is 5 inches shorter than him you subtract 5 to get carter's original height
3j/3—5/3
