Question

An ostrich that is 108 inches tall is 20 inches taller than 4 times the height of a kiwi. What is the height of a kiwi in inches? Thank you.

Answer 1

The height of a kiwi is (104-4)/20=5 inches

Answer 2

22 inches.

Explanation:

Turn it into an equation:

4x + 20 = 108

Eliminate 20 by subtracting both sides.

4x = 88

x = 22

Hope this helps.
