Answer:

Explanation:

14) Amount in Harper's school lunch account = $ 75

Cos of one meal = $ 3.25

Cost of 'm' meals = 3.25 * m = 3.25m

Balance amount in Harper's account after getting 'm' meals = $ 19.75

Total amount - Cost of 'm' meals = 19.75

75 - 3.25m = 19.75

To find the value of 'm', isolate m. To isolare m subtract 75 from both sides

-3.25m = 19.75 - 75

-3.25m = -55.25

Now divide both sides by (-3.25)

m = -55.25/(-3.25)

m = 17

15) Starting height = 24 ft

Height after t seconds = 4.5*t = 4.5t

To see the river, the drone should reach the height atleast 330 ft above the ground. ⇒ It should be at the height greater than or equal to 330 ft

Initial height + height after 't' seconds ≥ 330

24 + 4.5t ≥ 330

Subtract 24 from both sides

4.5t ≥ 330 - 24

4.5t ≥ 306

Divide both sides by 4.5

t ≥ 306/4.5

t ≥ 68

He will be able to see the river from 68 seconds ( 1 minute 8 seconds) and above.

No, Imani will not be able to the river after the drone has been raising for one minute. At 1 minute 8 seconds Imani will start seeing the river. So at one minute, the drone will not have reached the required height .
