Answer:
Gateway: 630
Statue: 305
Step-by-step explanation:
Gate way Arch = x
Statue of Liberty + 325 = x
1/2 (x)-10 = Statue of Liberty
Combine the two equations into one by substitution
1/2(x) – 10 + 325 = x Combine the left
1/2 (x) + 315 = x Subtract 1/2 x from both sides
315 = x – 1/2 x Combine the right side
315 = 1/2 x Multiply by 2
630 = 1/2 x times 2
x = 630
================]
Gateway arch = 630 feet
Statue + 325 = 630
Statue = 630 – 325
Statue = 305
