Cassandra measured her hieght as 63 inches. That 6 inches less than times her younger brothers height haw tall is younger brother

Answer 1

Let's denote Cassandra's height as \( C \) and her younger brother's height as \( B \).

According to the information given:

• Cassandra's height is 63 inches.
• This height is 6 inches less than 3 times her younger brother's height.

We can set up the equation based on this information:

\[ C = 3B - 6 \]

Now, plug in Cassandra's height:

\[ 63 = 3B - 6 \]

To solve for \( B \), first add 6 to both sides:

\[ 63 + 6 = 3B \] \[ 69 = 3B \]

Next, divide both sides by 3:

\[ B = \frac{69}{3} = 23 \]

So, Cassandra's younger brother is 23 inches tall.
