Answer: Rogun dam is 335m tall and Nurek dam is 300m tall
Step-by-step explanation:
I will use [tex]r[/tex] to represent the height of the Rogun dam and [tex]n[/tex] to represent the height of the Nurek dam.
The system of equations is as follows:
[tex]r+n=635[/tex]
[tex]r-n=35[/tex]
From the second equation, we can rearange it to be:
[tex]r=35+n[/tex]
Then take this new value of [tex]r[/tex] and plug it into our first equation to find [tex]n[/tex]
[tex](35+n)+n=635[/tex]
[tex]35+2n=635[/tex]
[tex]2n=600[/tex]
[tex]n=300[/tex]
This means that the Nurek dam is 300m tall, and the Rogun dam is 335m tall, found by pluggin the value into our first equation:
[tex]r+300=635[/tex]
[tex]r=335[/tex]
