Answer:

The plane is now flying at an altitude of 42,250 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, he is at an altitude of 40,000 feet.

Descends at a rate of 2,000 feet / minute for 3 minutes.

So his altitude is now:

40,000 - 3*2,000 = 34,000

Ascends at a rate of 1,500 feet minute for 5.5 minutes.

The plane is now flying at an altitude of:

34,000 + 1,500*5.5 = 42,250

The plane is now flying at an altitude of 42,250 feet.

9x + 8 y = -6<br> -9x - 9y - 9<br> Elimination
kolezko [41]

Answer:

x = 2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Add them together and get

9x + 8y - 9x - 9y = -6 + 9

-y = 3

so y = -3.

Sub it into the first equation and get

9x + 8(-3) = -6

9x - 24 = -6

9x = -6 + 24 = 18

x = 18/9 = 2
