The chrysler building is 491 feet taller than the washington monument if the height of the chrysler building is 64 feet less than twice the height of the washington monument how tall is each structure

Chrysler building is 918 feet tall and the Washington Monument is 427 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Chrysler be c feet tall and the Monument m feet tall.

c - m = 491

c - 2m = 64 Subtracting:

-m - (-2m) = 427

m = 427 feet,

and

c - 427 = 491

c = 491 + 427

c = 918 feet.
