38. There are 5 people in Johnny's rock band. They made x dollars playing at a dance hall.

39. The Washington Monument is 555 feet tall. It is 75 feet shorter than the Gateway to the
West Arch.

Answer 1

Answer:

38. 335

39. 480

Step-by-step explanation:

38. 5 people each made 67 dollars.  Thus, 5*67=x.  Thus, x = 335

39. If the height of the Washington monument(W) is 555 feet, then the Gateway to the West Arch(G) is 75 shorter, or 480 feet tall.  

The equation is W = G + 75
