Question

Building A is 200 ft. Shorter than building B. The total height of the two buildings is 1520 ft. Find the height of each building.

Answer 1

Given A=B-200
A+B=1520

(B-200)+B=1520
2B=1720
B=860ft


A=860-200
A=660ft

Answer 2

So you divide by 2 because there is 2 buildings. You get 760. Now, just take 200 away from one building, and 200 away from the other, and you get 560 for Building A, and 960 from Building B.
