Question

Elliott is 63 inches tall, which is 9inches taller than cousin, Jackson.write and solve an addition equation to find Jackson height

Answer 1

Answer:

J + 9 = 63

Jackson = 54 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the variable 'J' for the height of Jackson, we know that Elliott is Jackson's height, plus an additional 9 inches.  Since Elliott is 64 inches tall in total, we can add Jackson's height plus 9 to get Elliot's height:

Jackson's height + 9 inches = Elliot's height

J + 9 = 63

Subtract '9' from both sides: J + 9 - 9 = 63 - 9 or J = 54

So, Jackson is 54 inches tall.
