By the given statement you can notice that each omelet demands 6 eggs. Then, after making each omeltet Al has 6 eggs lower. This can wrtten numerically as follow:

150, 144, 138, 132, 126, 120,...

That is equivalent to:

150-6, 150-6-6, 150-6-6-6, 150-6-6-6-6, 126-6-6-6-6-6, ... , 150 - 6n

where n is the nth omelet made by counting from the begining of the day.

48 seconds
3624 feet

========================================================

Explanation:

x = number of seconds that elapse

y = altitude (aka height) of the plane

The equation for plane A is

y = 20.25x+2652

because it starts off at 2652 ft in the air, and then adds on 20.25 feet per second which is what the 20.25x describes

The equation for plane B is

y = 75.5x

The y intercept is zero because plane B starts on the ground, aka height 0.

------------------

The system of equations is

$\begin{cases}y = 20.25x+2652\\y = 75.5x\end{cases}$

If we want to know when they'll reach the same height (y), then we can set the two right hand sides equal to each other and solve for x.

75.5x = 20.25x+2652

75.5x-20.25x = 2652

55.25x = 2652

x = (2652)/(55.25)

x = 48

The two planes reach the same altitude at exactly <u>48 seconds</u>

That altitude is <u>3624 feet</u> because

y = 20.25*x + 2652 = 20.25*48+2652 = 3624
y = 75.5*x = 75.5*48 = 3624

Notice I plugged x = 48 into each equation and I got the same y value of y = 3624. This helps confirm the answers.
