Mathematics

Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).

... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b

... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211

Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.

... 2b - (b+271) = 211

... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271

... a = b +271 = 753

Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.

Answer:

-8b + 9 - 5k

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the blue highlighted portion is your answer, and is not a part of the initial question

(-4b + 15 - 7k) - (6 + 4b - 2k)

Combine like terms

-4b - + 4b

Negative + Positive = Negative

-4b - 4b = -8b

15 - 6 = 9

-7k - - 2k

Negative + Negative = Positive

-7k + 2k = -5k

Put them all together:

0b + 9 - 5k

Simplify

-8b + 9 - 5k

I got the same answer as you (just in a different order)
