Answer:
x = 2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The goal here is to isolate the variable, or to get x by itself. We can do this by using simple math. The first step is to move every thing to the opposite side of x. We do this by subtracting 38 from 60, which leaves us with 22. Now we want divide 22 by 8. After doing this we are left with the equation x = 2.75. I know that at first fractions and decimals seem annoying and they feel like a lot of work. But if you take a second to really look at them, you will realize they are not that bad. As in most cases with math, looks can be deceiving

Answer: 0.238853503185
(I obviously used a calculator.)
If you rounded this answer, it would be 0.24. Hope this helps!
First let's reduce the feet to miles
there are 5280 feet in a mile therefore
26400 feet=5 miles
31680 feet=6 miles
Jet A(the first jet) descends 5 miles in 96 miles
Jet B(the second jet) descends 6 miles in 120 miles
We can compare these as fractions to see which is steeper. This can be viewed as slope and the origin (0,0) is the airport.
slope: 6/120=?=5/96
1/20=?=5/96
Now we know that 5/100 =1/20 so 5/96 must be bigger than 5/100 because you are dividing by a smaller number.
so 1/20<5/96
So Jet B is descending steeper than Jet A.
As for linear model, I don't exactly know what your teacher means but I think I actually used the linear model when I'm thinking of steepness as slope in the coordinate plane, I will include a picture.
In this extremely zoomed out graph, you can see the blue line is just slighly higher than the red line(slope as in explanation is way easier to tell) this could be seen as the linear model) :) Hope it helped!
