Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).
... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b
... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211
Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.
... 2b - (b+271) = 211
... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271
... a = b +271 = 753
Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.

Answer: 216
Step-by-step explanation:
The LCM of 24 and 54 is 216. To find the least common multiple of 24 and 54, we need to find the multiples of 24 and 54 (multiples of 24 = 24, 48, 72, 96 . . . . 216; multiples of 54 = 54, 108, 162, 216) and choose the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by 24 and 54, i.e., 216.
Extrapolation is the process by which a value is estimated by using a previously known set of numbers. Interpolation is where a value is estimated between two known values. In this case, if you wanted to predict the value of the y-variable when the x-variable is 15, you would be extrapolating beyond the known data-set.
