Yes the answer is correct
17 = 5k-2
+2 +2 The first step is to add 2 to both sides
-------------
19 = 5k Then you divide both sides by 5
The answer is 3.8 = k
If he descends 60.5 feet from the top of the reef, then the elevation to the top of the reef is 60.5 feet
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangle can be calcualated with this formula:

Where "l" is the lenght and "h" is the height.
The area of a rectangle can be found with this formula:

Where "l" is the lenght and "h" is the height.
In this case we know that:

Therfore, we can susbsitute them into
and solve for "h" in order to find its value:

Find two number whose sum is 3 and whose product is -40. These are -5 and 8. Then, factorizing, we get:

The positive value is the height. Then:

Since the length is 3 centimeters greater than its height, we get that this is: Then:

Substituting values into
, we get that the perimeter is:
