\textit{The two towers have a combined height of 1,824}\implies a+b=1824\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{a}=b+852\\
a+b=1824\\
----------\\
\boxed{b+852}=1824
\end{cases}

b=1824-852\implies b=972[/tex]
how tall is A? well, a = b + 852.
how tall is A? well, a = b + 852.
Answer:
Height of Tower A = 1338 feet.
Height of Tower B = 486 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that:
The height of tower A is 852 feet more than tower B.
Let the height of tower B= x feet.
Then the height of tower A= (x+852) feet.
Also,
The two towers have a combined height of 1,824 feet.
This means that:
[tex](x+852)+x=1824\\\\x+852+x=1824\\\\x+x+852=1824\\\\2x+852=1824\\\\2x=1824-852\\\\2x=972\\\\x=\dfrac{972}{2}\\\\x=486[/tex]
Height of tower B= 486 feet.
and height of tower A= 486+852= 1338 feet
