Answer:
Given:
Elevation of city A = -96 ft (below sea level)
Elevation of city C = -24 ft (below sea level)
Let x = elevation of city D.
Part A.
Because the elevation of city D is 1/4 of the elevation of city C, therefore
x = (1/4)*(-24)
Part B.
Because 24/4 = 6, therefore
x = -6 ft.
Answer:
The elevation of city D is 6 feet below sea level.
The answer is negative because the elevation is below sea level.
We shall use a negative sign for an elevation below sea level, and a positive sign for an elevation above sea level.

x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since B is in the middle of A and C, AB + BC = AC
So,
2x - 11 + 8 = x + 3
x - 3 = 3
x = 6

Answer:
f(x+5)=3x+16
Step-by-step explanation:
lets name " x+5" T
so f(T)=3T+1
now use "x+5" replace T
now its f(x+5)=3(x+5)+1=3x+15+1=3x+16
