Answer: The initial elevation of the plane was 8.75 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that the initial elevation of the plane is E.

Then the plane descends 3.5 miles.

Then the new elevation of the plane will be:

E - 3.5 miles.

Now, we know that the new elevation of the plane is 5.25 miles, then:

E - 3.5 miles = 5.25 miles.

Now we need to solve this for E.

To solve this, we can add the same number to both sides of the equation, so we can add 3.5 miles to both sides to get:

(E - 3.5 miles) + 3.5 miles = 5.25 miles + 3.5 miles

E + (3.5 miles - 3.5 miles) = 5.25 miles + 3.5 miles

E = 8.75 miles.

The initial elevation of the plane was 8.75 miles.

In a game, a player earns 100 points for each question answered correctly and earns -30 points for each question answered incorr
REY [17]

The general expression is 130 x - 600 and total points scored by the player is 1220

A) Let the number of correctly answered questions be x.

∴ Number of incorrectly answered questions will be 20 - x.

+ 100 points is awarded for each question answered correctly while -30 points is awarded for each question answered incorrectly.

Thus, the general equation becomes

= 100x - (20 - x)(-30)

= 100x +30x - 600

= 130x - 600

Thus the general expression becomes 130 x - 600

B)  The player answers 14 questions correctly, thus x = 14

Substituting the value of x =14 in the general equation we get,

= 130(14) - 600

= 1820 - 600

= 1220.

Thus the total points scored by the player will be 1220

Subtract2.31 from 7.70 to recieve your new price :)

7.70*0.3=2.31\\7.70-2.31=5.39
