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