An airplane is currently at an elevation of 8500 feet above sea level. The airplane is losing elevation at a rate of 150 feet per minute to land. Which equation represents the elevation of the plane, y, after m minutes
Oy=150-8500m
O y=8500m-150
O y=8500-150m
O y=150m-8500

the answer is y=8500-150m

Step-by-step explanation:I say this because 150 is the amount of feet that it drops per minute m stands for minute so you would be multiplying 150 by whatever m would be.

except a rational number. : )

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
