Aries · Answer 1

So you divide by 2 because there is 2 buildings. You get 760. Now, just take 200 away from one building, and 200 away from the other, and you get 560 for Building A, and 960 from Building B.

Jolee · Answer 2

Given A=B-200

A+B=1520

(B-200) + B=1520

2B=1720

B=860ft

A=860-200

A=660ft
