Question 1190264: The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy has the following description.
Height: 179 ft.
Distance leans: Height is 10 ft. more than 13 times the distance.
Determine ft. it leans.
Check my calculations, please;
L = feet leaning.
13L + 10 = 179
13L + 10 - 10 = 179 - 10
13L = 178
13L / 13 = 178 / 13
L = 13.692 = 14 ft.
Not sure.
