Question

6. HANG GLIDING Aida

was hang gliding. After losing
35 feet in altitude, she was
gliding at 125 feet. Write and
solve an equation to find her
height when she started hang
gliding.

Answer 1

160

Explanation:

let A represent Aida hang gliding

we know that she was at 125 ft in the air

we know that she lost 35 ft in altitude

so the equation would be

125=A[-35]

what is boxed you change the opposite so the opposite of subtraction would be addition.

125=A[-35]

125=A+35

now we move the +35 under 125

if we add 125 and 35 it would give us 160 so the answer would be 160

Answer 2

35+125=160

She was 160 feet up when she began hang gliding
