Initially started 20 feet from the ground .
Went uphill 83 feet.
So: 20 + 83 = 103. The coaster is 103 ft above at this point.
Went down 42 feet
So: 103 - 42 = 61.
Went up 128 feet
So: 61 + 128 = 189
Finally, went down 90 feet
So: 189 - 90 = 99
99 ft above ground.
9 cups, 2 1/4= 2.25, 2.25 times 4 equals 9
If you substitute the -8 in for y you will get -72
You can then add the 72 to the other side and get -8x=64
Dividing by -8 to both sides to get x alone will give you x
X=-8
