Question

Zane is a dangerous fellow who likes to go rock climbing in active volcanoes. one time while inside a volcano, he heard some rumbling, so he decided to climb up out of there as quickly as he could. he climbed up at a rate of 444 meters per second. after 333 seconds, he was 131313 meters below the edge of the volcano. how far was zane below the edge of the volcano when he started climbing?

Answer 1

From the given scenario is this particular item, the equation that can be derived for the distance traveled after x seconds is,
                            y = d₀ + (4)x
Substituting the known values x and y in order to solve for d₀ will give us an answer of,
                           13 = d₀ + 4(3)
                                    d₀ = 1 
Thus, the answer is 1 m.
