Question 1005982: Building A is 180 feet shorter than Building B. The total height of the two buildings is 1520 feet. Find the height of each building.

We can write these facts using A and B like this
A = B - 180 and
A + B = 1520
Now substitute the first into the second and get
B - 180 + B = 1520
2B = 1700
B = 850 feet
A is 180 less, or 670 feet.
