Quite simple when you take out the useless stuff you added in. Its 16
Answer:
Change 45 min to .75 hrs
Distance = speed * time
Train A's distance = 55(t+.75)
Train B's distance = 70t
The equation
D(t) = 70t + 55(t+.75)
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.
Answer:
B-$100=$372
The is is the smartest way I could look at this
OR
$372 - $100= b
Hope this helps
