Answer:
9000 - 500m
Step-by-step explanation:
Your original number is 9000. It starts to decrease at a rate of 500 feet per minute. So we know that you will subtract 500 from 9000 but we don't know how many times. Because of this, we will put a variable to represent the minutes that we are descending.
In conclusion: 9000 - 500m
Answer:
(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 2^2.
X+y=11
x is longer than y
x>y
x is 4 less than 4 times y
x=-4+4y
sub back
x+y=11
-4+4y+y=11
-4+5y=11
add 4 to both sides
5y=15
divide both sides by 5
y=3
sub back
x=-4+4y
x=-4+4(3)
x=-4+12
x=8
the pieces are 8ft and 3ft
