Question

The world’s two highest dams are both in Tajikistan. The Rogun dam is 35 meters taller than the Nurek dam. Together they are 635 meters tall. Find the height of the Nurek dam.

I need a two-step equation to solve (it's part of the hw)

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of Nurek dam is 300m and height of Rogun dam is 335m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of Nurek dam be x metres

Height of Rogun dam is 35+x metres

Together they are 635 metres tall

35+x+x=635

35+2x=635

2x=635-35

2x=600

x=600/2

x=300m
