We can then write an equation representing this problem as:

e−1.5mi=5.25mi

Now, add 1.5mi to each side of the equation to solve for e while keeping the equation balanced:

e−1.5mi+1.5mi=5.25mi+1.5mi

e−0=6.75mi

e=6.75mi

The plane's starting elevation was 6.75 miles

Hope this helps!

Answer:

A: 10.9

Step-by-step explanation: -2.3 is 2.3 away from zero then add the length from zero to the postive number which in this case is 8.6, therefore the equation is 2.3 + 8.6 = 10.9

Does anyone know how to do this?

sineoko [7]

Answer:

$\boxed{\tt x=\sqrt{85} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

When making a right triangle with 2 points, the distance is the hypotenuse which can be represent as "x"

To find the distance we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

$\boxed{{\tt a^2+b^2=c^2}}$

→ $\tt a=9$

→ $\tt b=2$

→ $\tt c=x$

Let's Plug in the side lengths:

$\tt 9^2+2^2=x^2$

Evaluate 9²= 81 and 2²= 4:

$\tt 81+4=x^2$

Now, add 81+4= 85

$\tt 85=x^2$

Take the square root of both sides:

$\tt x=\sqrt{85}$
