Given:
Town A Elevation: -13 feet
Town B Elevation: 7 times lower
Determine the equation to represent the elevation of Town B.
Explanation:
Since we are given the elevation of town a which is -13 feet, and the statement says that town b's elevation is 7 times lower, therefore we can write the expression as,
Town A = -13 feet = x
Town B = 7x
Town B = 7 (-13)
Town B= -91 feet
Final Answer:
Town B can be represented as : 7(-13)
Town B elevation = -91 feet
