It is the first statement. It is positive two, so it’s above sea level. We can immediately get rid of the last two statements. Then, it is negative 20. The is 18 feet below sea level, because 2-20 is -18. Positive 8 shows rising up by 8 feet. The correct statement is the first one.
2p+6a=$14
3p+9a=$21
3p+9a=21
Subtract 9a
3p=21-9a
divide all by 3
p=7-3a
plug it into start equations
2p+6a=14
2(7-3a)+6a=14
14-6a....+6a=14
this zeroes out...
The quotient if the equation is x3
