<span>The canyon starts at an elevation of (-14.5). After each year, the elevation drops by (-1.5). The equation that could be written for this, then, would be (-14.5 - 1.5x = -31). First, we could add 14.5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the unknown. This would leave -1.5x = -16.5. Next, we can remove the negative signs so both sides of the equation are positive and easier to work with. This leaves 1.5x = 16.5. Finally, dividing both sides by 1.5 gives us "x = 11", which means that after 11 years, the canyon floor will be at -31 feet.</span>
Distance = rate times time.
414= .75x
414/.75
552 miles per hour
15 x .30 = 4.50 discount 15-4.50= 10.50
10.50 x .40 = 4.20
Final cost of shirt 10.50-4.20 = $6.30
37.4 Gallons of gas should be your answer! Hope i helped!
