You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +j+ = Joe's height in cm
+j+-+10+ = Ann's height
John's height is:
+j+-+10+%2B+5+=+j+-+5+ cm
------------------------
+1 m = +100+ cm
In cm, Joe's height is +100+%2B+5+=+105+ cm
John's height is:
+j+-+5+=+105+-+5+ cm
+j+-+5+=+100+ cm
+100+ cm = +1+ m
John's height is 1 m
