A dolphin starts at an elevation of -16 3/4 feet. He kicks 5 times and increases his elevation by the same amount for each kick. He is now at an elevation of -5 1/4 feet.

Which equation can be used to find x, the number of feet the dolphin traveled with each kick?

A. -5x - 5 1/4 = -16 3/4

B. -5x - 5 1/4 = -16 3/4

C. 5x - 16 3/4 = -5 1/4

D. 5x + 5 1/4 = -16 3/4
