Question

An ostrich that is 108 inches tall is 20 inches taller than 4 times the height of a kiwi.   What is th height of a kiwi in inches?

Answer 1

HEIGHT OF THE KIWI = ?

LETS CALL IT  X

 

4 TIMES THE HEIGHT OF A KIWI     = 4X

20 INCHES TALLER = 4X+20

 

4X+20 =   108

     -20 =   - 20   (Subtract 20 from both sides)

 

 

4X = 88

 

4X/4  =88/4

 

X= 22 inches
