Question 763237: Amber is 12 inches shorter than her father is. Their heights together are at most 140 inches. What is the tallest that Amber could possibly be? Answer by ramkikk66(644) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let Amber's height be x inches. Then her father's height is x+12.
Sum of their heights = x + x + 12 = 2*x + 12
Given that 2*x + 12 <= 140
2*x <= 128
x <= 64
Amber's maximum height is inches
