An office building is 20 feet taller than twice the height of a bank building. If the office building is 320 feet tall, how tall is the bank building?

Answer: 150 feet

Step-by-step explanation: The setup would be 2x + 20 = 320 to find the bank building. You would subtract 20 on both sides, leaving you with 2x = 300. You would divide both sides by 2, leaving it x = 150, which is your answer.
