Question

A hot air balloon is dropping from a height above the ground at a steady rate of 8 feet per second. It starts from a height of 765 feet. After t-seconds it has hit a height of 421 feet. Set up and solve an equation for the value of t.

Answer 1

I believe the equation would be 765 -8t = 421. Then you would solve for t and get 43 seconds. I hope this helps!! :)
