Answer:
Let's understand the concept:-
- Here to find Mindy's height we need to take his age as x
- Then solve according to the question
Solution:-
Let Mindy's height=x
- According to the question
Larry's height=2×x+50=2x+50
ATQ,
[tex]{:}\longmapsto [/tex][tex]\sf 2x+50=72 [/tex]
- Now take 50 to the other side
[tex]{:}\longmapsto [/tex][tex]\sf 2x=72-50 [/tex]
[tex]{:}\longmapsto [/tex][tex]\sf 2x=22 [/tex]
[tex]{:}\longmapsto [/tex][tex]\sf x={\dfrac {22}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]{:}\longmapsto [/tex][tex]\sf x=11[/tex]
[tex]\therefore[/tex][tex]\sf Mindy's \:Height \:is \;11 cm.[/tex]
