The gardenview hotel is seventeen less than twice the height of the plaza hotel. if their combined height is 361 feet, how tall is the gardenview hotel?

Height of garden view hotel = 235 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let

height of the plaza = a

height of Garden view Hotel  = 2a - 17

combined height = 361 ft

The combined height can be represented as follows:

a + (2a - 17) = 361

3a - 17 = 361

collect like terms

3a= 361 + 17

3a = 378

divide both sides by 3

3a/3 = 378/3

a = 378/3

a =  126 ft

Height of garden view hotel = 2 × 126 - 17

Height of garden view hotel = 2 × 126 - 17

Height of garden view hotel = 252 - 17

Height of garden view hotel = 235 ft

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
