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:
339416
Step-by-step explanation:
848,540 * 40/100 = 339416
I do not understand what you are asking but I am going to assume that you are trying to simplify the equation.
First, write the equation.
(4/3)b + 2 = 4 - (1/3)b
Add (1/3)b to each side.
(5/3)b + 2 = 4
Subtract 2 on each side.
(5/3)b = 2
Divide by (5/3) on each side
b = 1.2
b = 1.2 is your final answer.
