Ebi, jose, derell, and asami measured their heights. ebi's height was 2.5 cm greater than jose's height. jose's height was 3.1 cm greater than derell's height is 0.4 cm less than asami's height. ebi is 162.5 cm tall. how tall is asami? answer with equation.

Amy would be 157.3 height

Start with assigning each person with a variable to represent their height

Ebi: e
Jose: j
Derell: d
Asami: a

Ebi'd height was 2.5 cm greater than Jose's height

j + 2.5 = e

Jose's height was 3.1 cm greater than Derell's

d + 3.1 = j

Derell's height is 0.4 cm less than Asami's height

a - 0.4 = d

Ebi is 162.5 cm tall

e = 162.5

So, plug in 162.5 into any of the above equations were there is a variable of e

j + 2.5 = e

j + 2.5 = 162.5

Subtract 2.5 from both sides of the equation

j = 160 cm

Jose's height is 160 cm

Now, plug in 160 into any of the above equations where there is a j

d + 3.1 = j

d + 3.1 = 160

Subtract 3.1 from both sides of the equation 

d = 156.9 cm

Derell's height 156.9 cm

so, plug in 156.9 into any of the above equations where there is a d

a - 0.4 = d

a - 0.4 = 156.9

Add 0.4 on both sides of the equation

a = 157.3 cm

Asami's height is 157.3 cm
