Answer:
The height of each story is 10 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Let
x -----> the height of each story
The linear equation that represent this problem is
[tex]26=x+x+6[/tex]
Solve for x
Combine like terms
[tex]26=2x+6[/tex]
Subtract 6 both sides
[tex]26-6=2x[/tex]
[tex]20=2x[/tex]
Divide by 2 both sides
[tex]20/2=x[/tex]
Rewrite
[tex]x=10\ ft[/tex]
therefore
The height of each story is 10 ft
