The scuba diver standing on a boat is at an altitude of 1.3 meters above sea level. the scuba diver jumps into the water and decreases his altitude by 5.6 meters in one minute. what equation can be used to represent the divers altitude

x - (y*m) = z

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the beginning distance be represented by x, and the ending distance represented by y, and let the time represent minutes (m), and the answer represented by z.

x - (y*m) = z

450

step-by-step explanation:

you get texts and minutes, so why not

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
