The values of variables, such as the height of the table can be found by writing equations of their relationships
The height of the table is 105 cm
The reason the above height value is correct is as follows;
Known parameters:
The diagram shows a table, a cat and a mice
Let x, represent the height of the table, let y represent the height of the cat, and let z represent the height of the mice
From the given diagram, we have;
Height of the table + Height of the cat - Height of the mice = 120 cm
∴ x + y - z = 120...(1)
Height of the table + Height of the mice - Height of the cat = 90 cm
∴ x + z - y = 90...(2)
Adding equation (1) to equation (2) gives;
x + y - z + (x + z - y) = 120 + 90 = 210
x + y - z + (x + z - y) = 210
However;
x + y - z + (x + z - y) = x + x + y - y - z + z = 2·x
∴ x + y - z + (x + z - y) = 2·x = 210
x = 210/2 = 105
Therefore;
The height of the table, x = 105 cm
