Do you have another picture?
So you basically plug in the x value beside the 5 so if your on number 3 the answer would be 5(3) which is 15
Answer:
The equipment elevator is positioned 481 feet closer and the miner equipment is positioned 342 feet closer relative to the surface. The equipment elevator is deeper.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate that both elevators descend are the same according to the information given in the question.
After 18 seconds, the equipment elevator has descended 18 x 13 = 234 feet.
After another 19 seconds, the equipment elevator has descended for a total of 37 seconds which results in 481 feet and the miner elevator has descended for 19 seconds which gives us a descend of 342 feet.
So they are 481 and 342 feet closer relative to the surface and the equipment elevator is deeper since it has descended for a longer period of time.
I hope this answer helps.
Answer:
You could use the equation y = mx + b to solve this problem. The m would equal 7.5 and the be would be zero, so the equation would be y = 7.5x + 0. Add values for x and you would get y.
