The system of equations are y = 35 - 2.2x and y = 1.7x

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, office building has two elevators.

<em><u>One elevator starts out on the 4th floor, 35 feet above the ground, as it’s descending at a rate of 2.2 feet per second</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of seconds for which the elevator is descending

Therefore, for "x" seconds the descended feet is 2.2x feet

The elevator is at 4 th floor, 35 feet above ground

Therefore, from 35 feet, the elevator has descended 2.2x feet for "x" seconds

Let "y" be the final position of elevator after "x" seconds

Therefore,

y = 35 - 2.2x

<em><u>The other elevator starts out at ground level and is rising at a rate of 1.7 feet per second</u></em>

Here, the elevator is rising at a rate of 1.7 feet per second

Therefore, for "x" seconds, the elevator has raised 1.7x feet

Here the elevator is at ground level, therefore

y = 1.7x

Thus the system of equations are y = 35 - 2.2x and y = 1.7x

Determine whether the ratios are equivalent. 3:8 and 9: 24. are they equivalent or not?​
Simora [160]

Answer:

Yes, they are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

9 / 3 = 3

24 / 3 = 8

3:8 is just the simplified version of 9:24. This is due to 9:24 being divided by three, becoming 3:8.
