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:
The answer is B

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute 2 into (4x+2) and -12 into (x-1)
8x+4=4x-12x+12
combine like terms
8x+4=-8x+12
add -8x on both sides
8x+8x+4=12
16x+4=12
subtract 4 on both sides
16x=8
divide both sides by 16
x=1/2
hope this helps
If a track team is running a relay race, shouldnt they be running the same distance? The fourth person who runs is going to be running alot more than everyone else.
