Let’s use the equation to help us make a prediction. Remember x represents the time in hours, and y represents Eddie’s elevation. What will Eddie’s elevation be after 5 hours? Solve on paper or use the calculator. Then, enter your answer on Zearn.

Question

y
=
160x + 80
y
=

Answer 1

To predict Eddie's elevation after 5 hours using the equation \( y = 160x + 80 \), we will substitute \( x \) with 5.

\[ y = 160(5) + 80 \]

Now, let's do the multiplication:

\[ y = 800 + 80 \]

Next, we add the two values together:

\[ y = 880 \]

So, after 5 hours, Eddie's elevation will be \( 880 \) units.
