A hot air balloon is at a height of 2250 feet.It descends 150 feet each minute.Find its height after 6,8 and 10 minutes.
.Make a table to show the pattern of heights.
.Write an expression for the balloon height at m minutes.
6 minutes = 2250 - (6 * 150)
8 minutes = 2250 - (8 * 150)
10 minutes = 2250 - (10 * 150)

It is very bad alegbra
It is such bad 😧😈 alegbra
It is very confusing like what the heck I don’t even!!! Why would any need this I only need 1+1 and 2+2 like that’s it I’m terrible at math but THATS what calculators are for! 🦹🏻♀️
i think 2,4,8, and 10 minutes is the way to go
To find the height of the hot air balloon after a given number of minutes, we need to subtract the descending distance from the initial height.
Let's start by finding the height after 6 minutes:
Initial height = 2250 feet
Descending distance per minute = 150 feet
Height after 6 minutes = Initial height - Descending distance per minute * Number of minutes
Height after 6 minutes = 2250 - 150 * 6
Height after 6 minutes = 2250 - 900
Height after 6 minutes = 1350 feet
Now let's find the height after 8 minutes:
Height after 8 minutes = Initial height - Descending distance per minute * Number of minutes
Height after 8 minutes = 2250 - 150 * 8
Height after 8 minutes = 2250 - 1200
Height after 8 minutes = 1050 feet
Lastly, let's find the height after 10 minutes:
Height after 10 minutes = Initial height - Descending distance per minute * Number of minutes
Height after 10 minutes = 2250 - 150 * 10
Height after 10 minutes = 2250 - 1500
Height after 10 minutes = 750 feet
We can make a table to show the pattern of heights:
| Minutes | Height |
|---------|--------|
| 6 | 1350 |
| 8 | 1050 |
| 10 | 750 |
To write an expression for the balloon height at any given number of minutes (m), we can use the formula:
Height at m minutes = Initial height - Descending distance per minute * m
Using the given values, the expression is:
Height at m minutes = 2250 - 150 * m
