The rise or an increase in altitude is represented by positive sign and a decend or decrease in altitude is represented by negative sign.
First the helicopter descended 1200 feet. So the change in altitude will be -1200 feet.
Then the helicopter rose by 800 feet. So the change in altitude will be 800 feet.
Finally the helicopter descended by 450 feet. So the change in altitude will be -450 feet.
The net change in altitude will be the sum of all the above 3 changes.
Change in altitude = -1200 + 800 - 450 = -850 feet
The negative sign indicates a descend i.e. loss in altitude. So the net change in altitude was a loss of 850 feet.
Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The average car manufactured in the United states in 2001 could drive 24.5 miles on 1 car gallon of gas. To find the number of yards the car can travel on gallon of gas, we would convert 24.5 miles.
1 mile = 1760 yards
24.5 miles = 24.5 × 1760
= 43120 yards
Therefore, the car drives 43120 yards on 1 gallon of gas.
Answer:
5/1 or 5:1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(5, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x - y = 11 → (1)
- 2x - 4y = - 26 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by - 4 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term
- 12x + 4y = - 44 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
- 14x + 0 = - 70
- 14x = - 70 ( divide both sides by - 14 )
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
3(5) - y = 11
15 - y = 11 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
- y = - 4 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
y = 4
solution is (5, 4 )
