First what you wanna do is get y by it’s self. To do that is to first add 5 on each side.
-5+3y=-4
+5 +5
3y= 1
Than you divide 3 on each side and it would give you y=1/3 if it’s a fractions problem but if you looking for decimals you would have to divide 1 by 3 which gets you .33333333.
The change of the weather balloon would be 90% increase. to get the percentage of change we have to subtract 50 ft to 95 ft, it will then give us the 45 ft change. Then we have to divide 45 ft by 50 ft times 100, it will give us 90%. Then since the change and percentage of change is positive then the change could be describe as increasing.
