Question

The tallest snowman ever

recorded---really a snow woman named Olympia—was built by residents of Bethel,
Maine, and surrounding towns. Her body and head together made up her total
record height of 122ft. The body was 2ft longer than 14 times the height of the
head. What were the separate heights of Olympia’s head and body?

Answer 1

B=14H+2
B+H=122 so 14H+2+H=122 or 15H=120 or H=8 ft.
The head was 8 ft and the body 114 ft (do the difference 122-8).
