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:
Lines A and B form a consistent independent system
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A consistent system of equations has at least one solution
In this problem
The system of Line A and Line B has only one solution, since it has only one point of intersection.
and the Line A is different to Line B
therefore
Lines A and B form a consistent independent system
(independent because Lines A and B are different)
Ok so first I am assuming you ment 2 sevenths so 12 divided by 2 sevenths is 42. so the father is currently 42. so when she was 10 he was 40. since 10 is 4 times 40 that is the age we need. so 42 minus 40 is 2. therefore the answer is 2.
Answer:
<em>2.5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
A direct variation equation has the form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.
In this case, the constant of proportionality is 2.5.
