• According to the first image, Table + Cat - Tortoise = 170cm (Equation 1)
• According to the second image, Table - Cat + Tortoise =130cm (Equation 2)
• So, by adding these two Equations we get Table 1 + Table 2, as the Cat and Tortoise heights cancel each other out.
• Table 1 + Table 2 = 170cm + 130cm = 300cm
• So, Height of one table = 300cm ÷ 2 = 150cm
• Therefore, the actual height of the table is 150cm.
