2 answers:
Answer:
The height of Gardenview hotel is 38 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem let first suppose Garden View Hotel is "x" and the Plaza Hotel is "y" so the first equation as it says in the question will be 17x- 2y =0 and the second equation will be their combined height which is x+y =361 . Now let's solve both the equations simultaneously to get the height of GardenView Hotel.
(1)
(2)
Now multiply the second whole equation by 2 so that we can eliminate y from both the equations , after doing that the final equation is and if we calculate x from this we will get the height of gardenview hotel which is 38 feet.

now, notice, the rate of change for downloading is negative, because, "y" is decreasing, namely the Mbs to be downloaded, are less and less and less as the minutes go by, because the file is almost fully downloaded
so is -4.8
now... at 8minutes, there are 9.6Mbs to download
bear in mind that 9.6 is just 4.8 * 2
that simply means, another minute, another 4.8 Mbs, and another minute and another 4.8 Mbs and the file is done
so, the file downloaded really in 10minutes
now, we know the rate is -4.8 or -24/5, let us nevermind the sign for now
since we know the file is downloading at 24Mbs in 5minutes, a rate of 24/5
how much is it for 10 minutes? well 10 is really just 5 * 2
so if it downloads at a rate of 24Mbs per 5mins, in 10 minutes it downloaded 24*2 or 48Mbs
