PLEASE someone help its due tonight im almost done

========================================================

Explanation:

x = number of seconds that elapse

y = altitude (aka height) of the plane

The equation for plane A is

y = 20.25x+2652

because it starts off at 2652 ft in the air, and then adds on 20.25 feet per second which is what the 20.25x describes

The equation for plane B is

y = 75.5x

The y intercept is zero because plane B starts on the ground, aka height 0.

------------------

The system of equations is

If we want to know when they'll reach the same height (y), then we can set the two right hand sides equal to each other and solve for x.

75.5x = 20.25x+2652

75.5x-20.25x = 2652

55.25x = 2652

x = (2652)/(55.25)

x = 48

The two planes reach the same altitude at exactly 48 seconds

That altitude is 3624 feet because

Notice I plugged x = 48 into each equation and I got the same y value of y = 3624. This helps confirm the answers.

step-by-step explanation:

divide 13.5 by 9 to get the scale factor. it equals 1.5

2 * 1.5 = 3
