Calculating variable dependent parameter -

A variable dependent parameter equation is an equation where we solve a given problem from the statements and the data mentioned in it.

How to find Andrew's height in the given problem ?

Let the height of Andrew be x meters

Given Paul is 0.25 meters taller than Andrew .

∴ Paul's height = 0.25 + x meters

  Also given that John is 1/8 meters shorter than Paul .

  John's height = 1/8(0.25 + x) meter

  Also given that John's height  is 3/4 meters.

⇒  3/4 = 1/8(0.25 + x)

⇒   6  = (0.25 + x)

∴     x = 5.75

Therefore the height of Andrew is 5.75 meters.
