Question

Two buildings have the same total height. One building has 8 floors with height h. The other building has a ground floor of 16 ft and 6 other floors with height h. Write and solve an equation to find the height h if these floors.

Answer 1

In on building, the height of its 8 floors is 8h. In the other building, it has a ground floor of 16 and 6 floors of height h, so that expression is 16+6h. If the buildings are equal to one another, then 8h=16+6h. Solve for h.

Answer 2

Thanks
