Answer:

Bianca's height = 42 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the Bianca height.

Given:

Meredith height = 60 inches

We need to find the Bianca height.

Solution:

From the given statement the Meredith's height is $\frac{2}{3}$ of Bianca's height plus 32 inches, so the equation is.

Meredith's height = $\frac{2}{3}(Bianca\ height)+32$

Substitute Meredith's height in above equation.

$60=\frac{2}{3}x+32$

Now we solve the above equation for x.

$\frac{2}{3}x=60-32$

$\frac{2}{3}x=28$

By cross multiplication.

$x=\frac{3\times 28}{2}$

28 divided by 2.

$x= 3\times 14$

$x=42\ in$

Therefore, the height of the Bianca is 42 inches.
