Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the information that:
- The airplane is at 50,000 feet
- It descends 2,500 feet in 1 minute
- x = minutes
For ease of solving this question, let's set the number of minutes (x) to 1.
- In one minute, we know the plane will drop to 47,500 feet. (50,000 - 2,500(x))
There are multiple ways to write this equation bu shifting around negative and positive values. Another way to write this equation would be (-2,500(x) + 50,000). That would be choice C.
