Question 786037: two buildings have the same total height. One building has 8 floors with height h. The other building has a groin floor of 16 ft and 6 other floors with height h. Write and solve an equation to find the height h of these floors. Answer by unlockmath(1688) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
Let's make two equations: x will represent the height of each floor and h will be the total height.
Building #1:
8x=h
Building #2:
16+6x=h
We can combine these equations as:
8x=16+6x
Solve for x and we get:
2x=16 or
x=8
So now we know the height of the floors is:
8 feet
Make sense?
