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

K is the midpoint of JL. JK = 2x + 5 and JL = 50.
Sergeu [11.5K]
Steve set the equation equal to 50 which is the entire length of JL. instead he should've set the equation equal to 25, since it's half of 50 and would represent the midpoint. he should've said 2x + 5 = 25
