Algebra.Com's Answer #620775 by fractalier(6550)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! From the facts we have \n" ); document.write( "A = B - 190 \n" ); document.write( "and \n" ); document.write( "A + B = 1520 \n" ); document.write( "Couple ways to solve this, but let's substitute the first into the second...so \n" ); document.write( "B - 190 + B = 1520 \n" ); document.write( "2B - 190 = 1520 \n" ); document.write( "2B = 1710 \n" ); document.write( "B = 855 feet \n" ); document.write( "so that A is 190 shorter or \n" ); document.write( "A = 665 feet \n" ); document.write( " |
