Answer:
14 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
To create a linear equation that represents an airplane flying at an altitude of 30,100 feet, descending 2,150 feet per minute, that represents how long it will take for the airplane to touch down, proceed as follows:
2,150X = 30,100
X = 30,100 / 2,150
X = 14
Thus, the plane will take 14 minutes to reach the ground, descending 2,150 feet per minute from 30,100 feet.
