Building a is 160160 feet shorter than building b. the total height of the two buildings is 14801480 feet. find the height of each building

I assume the heights are 160 ft and 1480 ft.

The two heights are unknown, so we will use variable h to help solve the problem.
The shorter building, building A, has height h.
Since building A is shorter by 160 ft, then building B is taller by 160 ft, so the height of building B is h + 160.

Now we add our two heights to find the total height.

h + h + 160 is the total height.
We can write it as 2h + 160

We are told the total height is 1480 ft, so we let 2h + 160 equal 1480, and we have an equation.

2h + 160 = 1480

Subtract 160 from both sides

2h = 1320

Divide both sides by 2

h = 660

h + 160 = 820

Building A measures 660 ft.
building B measures 820 ft.
