Hey there
I 've already answered this question twice
by mistake.Kindly check.
I assume the heights are 160 ft and 1480 ft.
The two heights are unknown, so we will use variable h to help solve the problem.
The shorter building, building A, has height h.
Since building A is shorter by 160 ft, then building B is taller by 160 ft, so the height of building B is h + 160.
Now we add our two heights to find the total height.
h + h + 160 is the total height.
We can write it as 2h + 160
We are told the total height is 1480 ft, so we let 2h + 160 equal 1480, and we have an equation.
2h + 160 = 1480
Subtract 160 from both sides
2h = 1320
Divide both sides by 2
h = 660
h + 160 = 820
Building A measures 660 ft.
building B measures 820 ft.
Answer:99
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the decimal in the tenth placeholder is greater than four you would round up.
20x-28+12=16x+24 (i distributed the 4 to get this)
20x-16=16x+24 (added -28 & 12)
4x=40 (Subtracted 16x from both sides and added 16 to both sides)
(divide by 4 on both sides)
x=10
<em>4x-79=3x-29</em>
<em>Move the terms with "x" on the left, and the numbers on the right.</em>
<em>4x-3x=79-29</em>
<em>x=50</em>
