We will solve this using a system of equations. The first part tells us that building a is 190 feet shorter than building b. Our first equation, then, is b=190+a. The second part tells us that the addition of the two buildings' heights is 1480. So our second equation is a + b = 1480. The first equation is already solved for b, so let's sub that value into the second equation for b: a+(190+a)=1480. 2a + 190 = 1480 and 2a = 1290. That means that building a is 645 feet tall. Building b is 190 feet taller, so b = 190 + 645, which is 835.
Answer:
Step by Step:
x-2y=4
+2y +2y
x=-2y+4
x-2y=4
-4 -4
x-2y-4=0
+2y +2y
x-4=2y
Divid by 2
1/2x-2= y
x=-2y+4
x=-2(1/2x-2)+4
x=-x+4+4
x=-x+8
+x +x
2x= 8
x=4
y=1/2x-2
y=1/2(4)-2
y=2-2
y=0
(4,0)
12/10 + 9/10 = 21/10
21/10 simplified is 2 1/10
