Any number multiplied by one keeps its identity
1st equation—x, substitute y:
<span>3x + 2(x + 3) = 16 </span>
<span>3x + 2x + 6 = 16 </span>
<span>5x = 10 </span>
<span>x = 2 </span>
<span>y in the above equation: </span>
<span>= 2 + 3 </span>
<span>= 5 </span>
<span>Answer: x = 2, y = 5</span>

Answer:
270 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
For clarity, the image below represents the problem. Let's call h the height of the tower. Notice that it forms 2 triangles that are similar to side-angle-side. So, we can calculate the higher of the tower by similar triangles:
higher1/base1 = higher2/base2
h/135 = 6/3
h/135 = 2
h = 270 ft
