Write the equation for the paragraph below:

A scuba diver begins at 3 feet and then dives 10 feet every minute. How many minutes does the diver take to reach a depth of 50 feet?

Respuesta :

the answer is 50= 10x+3

Answer:

4.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use X as the answer

3 feet is our starting position.

Every minute is 10 feet.

If we already have 3 feet then we know it has to be less than 5.

It can't be 4 since that would be 43.

Your Equation would be 3+10x=50

Our answer has to be 4.7 because

4.7*10=47

47+3=50

Your final equation would be:

3+(10*4.7)=50
