Question 992768: Galileo Galilei conducted experiments involving Italy�s famous Leaning Tower of Pisa to investigate the relationship between an object�s speed of fall and its weight. The Leaning Tower is 804 ft. shorter than the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. The two towers have a total height of 1,164 ft. How tall is each tower?

Hi there,
Assume that the Eiffel Tower = 'x'
Leaning Tower = x - 804.
Therefore:
x + (x - 804) = 1,164 ft
x + x - 804 = 1,164 ft
2x - 804 = 1,164
2x = 1,164 + 804
2x = 1,968
x = 984 ft
Eiffel Tower = 984 ft
The Leaning Tower = 180 ft
Hope this helps :-)

----
LT = ET-804
LT + ET = 1164
------
ET-804 + ET = 1164
2*ET = 1908
ET = 954 ft (height of Eiffel Tower)
LT = 954-804 = 150 (height of Leaning Tower)
