Let x represent the height of the owl.
Let y represent the height of the tree.
From the first image, we can conclude that:
x+y=230.
from the second image, we can conclude that:
y-x=200.
so we get these equations:
x+y=230,
y-x=200.
Eliminate y by subtracting the 1st from the 2nd.
(x+y)-(y-x)=230-200
Expand parentheses.
x+y-y+x=30
x=15
Therefore the height of the owl is 15.
 
15, the inclusion of the owl minus the exclusion of the owl is 30, meaning the height being excluded by the owl plus the owl itself must equal 30 and must be equivalent due to utilizing the same object for both measurements. The only number that can be added to itself to make 30 is 15, thusly the owl is 15 units tall.
