How Tall is the Table? Two Math Equations

Assume Table=X, Turtle=T, and Cat=C.

From Left, we have and From Right, we have
Moving C and T to the left in both equations:


Adding both sides of equations and C and T cancelled out, thus:

and thus X=150.

Two Equations, Three Unknowns, we can’t solve all all variables, but in this case, X can be obtained regardless of T and C.
