PEMDAS (order of operations rules) require that we perform operations in a certain order: anything inside parentheses first, followed by any exponentiation, followed by mult. and div., finally followed by addition and subtraction.
Thus, we must evaluate 5+8÷4-1 first, as it's inside parentheses. Focusing on the division first, we get 5+8÷4-1 = 5 + 2 - 1, or 6.
Then we have 5 - [6], which comes out to -1.

Answer:
Let x equal the ice thickness. An equality that represents a safe ice thickness for walkability is:
x ≥ 4 inches
(Plus the graph)
Step-by-step explanation:
Defining a variable just means you let any letter or symbol take the place of something. But you have to specifically say what is what in order for it to be clear.
So I defined "x" as the variable to represent the ice's thickness. And since we want an inequality for all the safe thicknesses, we could say that "x" must be greater than or equal to 4 inches thick in order to safely walk on it.
Lastly, you'd graph it with a solid point on 4 with the arrow going to the right.
The <em>correct answer</em> is:
C) The quantity of distance measured in feet depends on the quantity of time measured in minutes.
Explanation:
The rate of an airplane's descent would be found using the distance it descends and the amount of time that takes.
In this situation, the amount of time that passes causes the distance the plane descends to change; this means that the distance depends on the time.
