4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of the tower when finished.

We have been given that Priya takes a break when the tower is 2 and 1/2 feet tall, which is 5/8 of the height of the tower she wants to build.

This means that 5/8 of x equals 2 and 1/2. Let us represent this information in an equation.

5/8*x=2 and 1/2

Let us convert our given mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

5/8*x=5/2

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 8/5.

8/5*5/8*x=5/2*8/5

x=8/2

x=4

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
