Answer:
D) 11x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x + 5) - (-5x + 4) = (6x + 15) - (-5x + 4) = 6x + 15 + 5x - 4
add like terms:
(6x + 5x) + (15 - 4) = 11x + 9
First of all, assuming that the "ground level" is 0;
The lift is not starting from 0, so we also need to account for the extra 15 meters above the ground the lift is.
The total distance the lift would cover in the downward direction: 15+350=365m
Now, you know that the lift covers 5 m/min
Therefore, 5x=365 (ignoring units because they can complicate things)
x=365/5
x=73 minutes
Therefore, they would take 73 minutes to reach 350 m deep into the ground with a starting position 15 m above the ground.
Hope I helped :)
25 because 9x5=45 so 5x5=25
