Theresa has two brothers, Paul and Steve, who are both the same height. Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 time Theresa's height. Steve says he is 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 time Theresa's height. If they are both right, how tall is Theresa?

Let Theresa’s height be X
So that makes height of paul as : 11X/2 -16 & Height of paul would be 11X/3 -6
Since they both have the same height
11X/2-16=11X/3 -6
33X-96=22X-36
11X=60
X=5”4 (Height of Theresa)
