Answer:
The only solution I see is for x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
y=8x+2
y=-8x+2
y=y so substitute:
8X+2=-8X+2
Subtract 2 from each side
8X=-8X
divide each side by 8
x=-x
The only solution I see is for x=0
Given that the equipment elevator descends at 6 feet per second.
The total number of seconds travelled by the equipment elevator is 23 + 16 = 39 seconds.
Thus the <span>position of the equipment elevator relative to the surface is given by -(6 x 39) = -234 feet.
Given that </span>the <span>miners elevator descends at 16 feet per second.
The total number of </span>seconds travelled by the miners elevator is 16 seconds.
Thus, the <span>position of the miners elevator relative to the surface is given by -(16 x 16) = -256 feet.
At that time the miners' elevator is deeper.

To solve this problem, you would have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2
X is the hypotenuse; therefore:
24^2+7^2=x^2
576+49=x^2
625=x^2
To solve this you would have to figure out what the square root of 625 is.
