Answer:

elevation refers to the height of the balloon. Descent refers to moving down, and rate of descent refers to how quickly the balloon moved down.

  In this case, we have a descent of 2,125 feet (initial height of 5,439 - ending height of 3,314). Since it took 34 minutes for the balloon to descend this distance, we divide the descent by the time (2,125/34). This gives us a rate of 62.5 feet per minute.

  That means that the balloon traveled downward 62.5 feet every minute. That's a fast moving balloon!

Step-by-step explanation:

hopefully this helps

Hi there!

PART A:
The system of equations we would use would be:
x + y = 22 (amount of items)
3x + 1y = 30 (cost)

Variables:
x = the amount of strawberry wafers bought at the price of $3
y = the amount of chocolate wafers bought at the price of $1

PART B:
To solve, we'll use substitution because we can easily isolate a variable using the first equation.

Work:
x + y = 22 (first equation)
y = 22 - x (isolating a variable)
3x + 1y = 30 (second equation)
3x + (22 - x) = 30 (substituting into the second equation)
2x + 22 = 30 (simplifying)
2x = 8 (subtracting)
x = 4 strawberry wafers
4 + y = 22 (substituting x into the first equation to solve for y)
y = 18 chocolate wafers

ANSWER:
They bought 4 strawberry wafers and 18 chocolate wafers.

Hope this helps!! :)
