the basement of a building is 40 feet below ground level . the elevator rises of 5 feet per second . you enter the elevator in the basement write an equation that represents the height y (in feet) of the elevator

y=5x-40

Step-by-step explanation:

It says 5 feet per second, so you know that is the rate/speed. The rate is always going to be x. The building starts in the basement which is  -40 because the basement is under ground level, so it would be less then 0 (ground level) and y is the final height you are at.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
