Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Cassidy's height = Reagan's height + 3.5

or
Cassidy's height = Reagan's height - 3.5

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find Cassidy's height, we can set up an equation based on the given information. Since Reagan is 3.5 inches shorter than Cassidy, we can subtract 3.5 from Cassidy's height to get Reagan's height.

Let's say that Cassidy's height is represented by the variable "C". Therefore, Reagan's height can be represented by the expression "C - 3.5".

Given that Reagan's height is 39 inches, we can set up the equation:

C - 3.5 = 39

Now, to find Cassidy's height, we need to solve for the variable "C" in the equation. To do that, we can add 3.5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

C - 3.5 + 3.5 = 39 + 3.5

This simplifies to:

C = 42.5

Thus, Cassidy's height is 42.5 inches.

To find Cassidy's height, we can use the equation:

Cassidy's height = Reagan's height + 3.5 inches

Substituting the given values:
Cassidy's height = 39 inches + 3.5 inches

Therefore, the equation we can use to find Cassidy's height is:
Cassidy's height = 39 inches + 3.5 inches
