Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the eagle's elevation is 100 meters above.

We can multiply -14.2 by 0.8.

We now get -11.36.

We can add this to (-14.2*4).

We now get -11.36 + -56.8.

We can add those together to get the answer.

-11.36 + -56.8 = -68.16.

Then we can add that to 100 (since it is negative).

100 + (-68.16) = 31.84.

The eagle's elevation would be 31.84 meters if its starting position was 100 meters, meaning that the equation would be (a - 68.16).
