ONE QUESTION HURRY PLEEEASE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The altitude of a plane as it begins to descend is shown by the linear equation a = 28,500 – 1800m, where a is the plane’s altitude, in feet, and m is minutes. What is the plane’s altitude when m = 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wont work :C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a=28,500-1800m\] when \(m=9\) you get\[a=28,500-1800\times 9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't copy and paste, type it in or use the equation editor below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use a calculator to compute that number

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the plane did not crash and go under ground

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[12,300\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well good way of putting it isnt negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):
