Question

A dresser with the mirror attached is 6.28 feet tall. The difference between their heights is 1.28 feet. What are the heights of the dresser and the mirror by themselves? Let the height of the dresser and the height of the mirror = y. =x

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = dresser height

x = mirror height

x+y=6.28

x-y = 1.28

x = 1.28+y

x+y=6.28

(1.28+y)+y=6.28

2y = 5

y = 2.5

Dresser = 2.5 ft

Dresser + Mirror = 2.5 + 1.28 = 6.28 ft

Mirror = 1.28 ft
