Building a is 160160 feet shorter than building

Mathematics

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.

Now that we’ve learned how to solve word problems involving the sum of consecutive integers, let’s narrow it down and this time, focus on word problems that only involve finding the sum of consecutive even integers.

But before we start delving into word problems, it’s important that we have a good understanding of what even integers, as well as consecutive even integers, are.

Even Integers

We know that even numbers are integers that can be divided exactly or evenly by 22. Thus, the general form of the even integer nn, is n = 2kn=2k, where kk is also an integer.

In other words, since even numbers are the multiples of 22, we can represent an even integer nn by 2k2k, where kk is also an integer. So if we have the even integers 1010 and 1616,
