29 minutes-  at a rate of 1,000 feet a minute, it would take 32 minutes to reach sea level (32,000/1000=32)but if you subtract 3000 from 32000 to remain 3000 feet above sea level, you have 29000 feet to descend which will take 29 minutes

Let

x-------> the time in minutes

y-------> the height of the airplane above sea level in feet

we know that

y=32,000-1,000x -------> equation 1

In this problem

For y=3,000\ ft

<u>Find the value of x </u>

Substitute the value of y in the equation 1 and solve for x

3,000=32,000-1,000x

1,000x=32,000-3,000

1,000x=29,000

x=29,000/1,000

x=29\ minutes

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

29\ minutes

Helen uses 3/4 cup of oil and 1/3 cup of vinegar to make salad dressing. Which is closest to how many times 3/4 is as great as 1
rjkz [21]
3/4 is greater than 1/3

4 x 3 = 12 ( so we shall choose 12 as our new denominator)

1/3 = 4/12  ( multiply 4 top and bottom to get the same denominator)
3/4 = 9/12  ( multiply 3 top and bottom to get the same denominator) 

3/4 is greater than 1/3 by 5/12

hope this helps

What value does "h" have in this equation for this to be an infinite solutions equation. 6 (hx + 5) + 4 = -4(8 - 4(8 – 18x) 18x)
Sever21 [200]

We have the following:

6(hx+5)+4=-4(8-18x)+66

A system of linear equations has infinite solutions when the graphs are exactly the same line.

for this to happen, on both sides the value of x must be equal:

\begin{gathered} 6\cdot h=4\cdot18 \\ h=4\cdot\frac{18}{6} \\ h=12 \end{gathered}

replacing:

\begin{gathered} 6\cdot(12x+5)+4=-4\cdot(8-18x)+66 \\ 72x+30+4=-32+72x+66 \\ 7x+34=7x+34 \\ 0=0 \\ \text{true for all x} \end{gathered}
