Question 1068291: the product of 7 and a number, increased by 59, is equivalent to the product of 12 and the sum of the number and 2.
Building 1 is 338 meters taller than B. If the height of the building A is subtracted from twice the height of Building B, the result is 101 meters. How tall is each building?

7N%2B59=12%28N%2B2%29
7N%2B59=12N%2B24
-5N=-25
Solve for N.

.
A=338%2BB
2B-A=101
Substitute,
2B-%28338%2BB%29=101
B-338=101
Now solve for B and then use either equation to solve for A.
