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.

Multiply both sides by -4/7
Answer:
a. 
b. His teacher will receive more pencils (See explanation).
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The total number of pencils Louis brings to school is:
Then, in order to calculate the number of pencils Louis’s teacher will receive after he gives each of his 15 classmates an equal number of pencils, you need to solve the division show in the picture attached.
Notice that the remainder obtained is: 
.
<em>This means that Louis’s teacher will receive 4 pencils.</em>
b. If Louis decides instead to take an equal share of the pencils along with his classmates, his teacher will receive more pencils; because the amount of pencils each classmate will receive will be less. This means that the number of pencils leftover will increase, leaving more pencils for his teacher.
Consider the digit expansion of one of the numbers, say,
676₉ = 600₉ + 70₉ + 6₉
then distribute 874₉ over this sum.
874₉ • 6₉ = (8•6)(7•6)(4•6)₉ = (48)(42)(24)₉
• 48 = 45 + 3 = 5•9¹ + 3•9⁰ = 53₉
• 42 = 36 + 6 = 4•9¹ + 6•9⁰ = 46₉
• 24 = 18 + 6 = 2•9¹ + 6•9⁰ = 26₉
874₉ • 6₉ = 5(3 + 4)(6 + 2)6₉ = 5786₉
874₉ • 70₉ = (8•7)(7•7)(4•7)0₉ = (56)(49)(28)0₉
• 56 = 54 + 2 = 6•9¹ + 2•9⁰ = 62₉
• 49 = 45 + 4 = 5•9¹ + 4•9⁰ = 54₉
• 28 = 27 + 1 = 3•9¹ + 1•9⁰ = 31₉
874₉ • 70₉ = 6(2 + 5)(4 + 3)10₉ = 67710₉
874₉ • 600₉ = (874•6)00₉ = 578600₉
Then
874₉ • 676₉ = 578600₉ + 67710₉ + 5786₉
= 5(7 + 6)(8 + 7 + 5)(6 + 7 + 7)(0 + 1 + 8)(0 + 0 + 6)₉
= 5(13)(20)(20)(1•9)6₉
= 5(13)(20)(20 + 1)06₉
= 5(13)(20)(2•9 + 3)06₉
= 5(13)(20 + 2)306₉
= 5(13)(2•9 + 4)306₉
= 5(13 + 2)4306₉
= 5(1•9 + 6)4306₉
= (5 + 1)64306₉
= 664306₉
