Pieter wrote and solved an equation that models the number of hours it takes to dig a well to a level of 72 feet below sea level

.
7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72
Which statement is true about Pieter’s solution?

1. It cannot be a fraction or decimal because the depth of the well is a whole number.

2. It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.

3. It must be a negative number because the depth is below sea level.

4.It cannot be greater than –72 because that is the depth of the well.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Is this the entire question? Some of it makes no sense without a diagram or something.

To get rid of A you actually have to solve the equation.

7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72        Remove the brackets

7h - 15h + 40 = - 72          Combine the like terms

- 8h + 40 = - 72                Subtract 40 from both sides

- 8h = -112                        Divide by -8

    h = 14

Well the depth is a whole number so A is true.

We don't know anything about time. But the answer is positive.

C is false because B is true.

We don't know exactly what the depth of the well is.

I would pick A, but you need the entire question.
