PLZZ HELP!!!!!!
Kane planned to build a 53-centimeter-tall model of a building he later decide to increase the models height to 159 centimeters. what was the increase of the models height in centimeters?
A. X - 53 = 159 X = 109
B. 53 + X = 159 X = 206
C. 53 + X = 159 X = 102
D. X - 53 = 159 X = 53
i meant 106
its b
Disagree.
53 + X = 159
Subtract 53 from both sides.

To find the increase in the model's height, you need to subtract the original height (53 centimeters) from the final height (159 centimeters).
So, the equation for the increase would be:
Final height - Original height = Increase
In this case, it would be:
159 centimeters - 53 centimeters = Increase
Simplifying the equation, you get:
106 centimeters = Increase
Therefore, the increase in the model's height is 106 centimeters.
Looking at the answer choices, none of them match the correct answer.
