Armand Duplantis jumped 2.63 meters to win the gold medal.
Give me the equation you used to solve that problem, please.
Let x be the height Tamberi jumped (2.37m).
Thiago Braz da Silva jumped 2.48 times higher than Tamberi: 2.48x = 2.48(2.37) = 5.86m
The gold went to Armand Duplantis who jumped 0.15m higher than da Silva: 5.86 + 0.15 = 2.63m
Therefore, Armand Duplantis jumped 2.63 meters to win the gold medal.
One equation for all of that, please.
Let x be the height Tamberi jumped.
Thiago Braz da Silva jumped 2.48x (2.48 times higher than Tamberi).
Armand Duplantis jumped 0.15m higher than da Silva: 2.48x + 0.15 = height Armand Duplantis jumped.
Given that Tamberi jumped 2.37m, we can substitute x = 2.37 into the equation:
2.48(2.37) + 0.15 = 5.86 + 0.15 = 2.63m
Therefore, Armand Duplantis jumped 2.63 meters to win the gold medal.
