Answer:
x = 22 (see explanation!)
Step-by-step explanation:
Just with any algebraic equation, you will want to isolate the variable (x). Here's a step-by-step to show you how it's done:
1/7(x + 6) = 4
Multiply by 7 to get rid of the 1/7 (since 7 * 1/7 = 7/7 = 1)
7*1/7(x+6) = 7*4
x+6 = 28
Now, subtract 6 from both sides to isolate x:
x + 6 - 6 = 28 - 6
Finally:
x = 22
N=-6
-6 minus 6 is -12
-12 /3 is -4 since the negative doesn’t cancel out
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.
