Cassandra measured her height as 63 inches. That is 6 inches less than 3 times her younger brothers height. How tall is her younger brother
To find out how tall Cassandra's younger brother is, we need to solve the given equation. Let's denote Cassandra's younger brother's height as "x".
The equation states that Cassandra's height is 6 inches less than 3 times her younger brother's height. Mathematically, we can represent this as:
63 inches = 3x - 6 inches
To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Let's add 6 inches to both sides:
63 inches + 6 inches = 3x
69 inches = 3x
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:
69 inches / 3 = x
x = 23 inches
Therefore, Cassandra's younger brother is 23 inches tall.
