So, since Sharon is 54 inches tall, and the tree is 5 times taller than she is, 54*5=270
The floor of her tree house, however is 2 times taller than she is.
54*2=108
The result would be:
270-108=162
The difference is 162 inches

Hey there!
A dolphin swims 40 miles per hour. In feet, this is 211,200 because there’s 5,280 feet in a mile. Divide 211,200 by 60 to get 3,520. The dolphin travels 3520 feet a minute.
I hope this helps!
Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. Then xy = 4 and x + y = -5.
Solving the first equation for y, we get y = 4/x.
Subbing 4/x for y in the second equation, we get x + 4/x = -5.
Multiplying all three terms by x removes the fractional term:
x^2 + 4 = -5x
Rearranging terms in descending powers of x: x^2 + 5x + 4 = 0
Factoring, (x+1)(x+4)=0, so that x = -1 and x= -4 are roots / solutions.
Note that (-1)(-4) = 4 and that (-1) + (-4) = -5, as required.
Two such numbers are {-1, -4).
