mathmale · Answer

Let's suppose that Nancy is a lilttle short at 4 feet, and that Chang is 6 feet taller.  So, Chang is 10 feet tall?  Must be a good basketball player candidate.

All right.  So, you mean 6" instead of 6.'  Can do.

Let n = Nancy's height.  How tall is Chang?

Let's let H represent Chang's height and N, Nancy's. We know that Chang is 6 inches taller than Nancy. So, if we add six inches to nancy's height, or N, we get his height. Therefore, 6+N=C or C=6+N
