Question
Answer:
Answer:1. 9 hours      2. $377     3. 48 hours     4. 235 feetStep-by-step explanation:In all cases below, let x represent the variable sought for.1: 2x/5=3.6,x=5/2 *3.6=9 hours2. x-83=294x=83+294=3773. x+x/3=4x/3=64x=64*3/4=48 hours4. If the gardenview hotel's height  is x, then (x+17)/2 will be the height of the Plaza Hotel.The combined height  will be x + (x+17)/2 = 361 feetMultiplying by 2 across board,2x+x+17=7223x+17=7223x =722-17=705x=705/3=235m
