Answer: Well you’re solving for “x,” so you’ll need to isolate this variable. This means we need to “get rid of” the fraction 2/3 that is attached to it. The faction is attached by the operation multiplication, so to remove it we must divide it on both sides. And division with fractions requires the reciprocal. (Try watching an explanation if you’re confused on why division requires reciprocals).

Answer:

-100 + x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question:

Tyler's original height = -100 feet

Tyler's final height = 40

X to represent change in elevation

As initial + change = final, the equation would be:  

-100 + x = 40  

Please mark it as brainliest if it helps you!
