Complete question :

A dolphin starts at an elevation of -16 3/4 feet. He kicks 5 times and increases his elevation by the same amount for each kick. He is now at an elevation of -5 1/4 feet. Which equation can be used to find x, the number of feet the dolphin traveled with each kick?

2 3/10 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial elevation = - 16 3/4 feets

Number of kicks = 5

Increase in elevation is the same for each kick

Final elevation = - 5 1/4 feets

Number of feets, x, dolphin travels per kick ;

Total elevation achieved after 5 kicks : ; change in elevation

Final elevation - initial elevation

16 3/4 - 5 1/4

67 /4 - 21/4

(67 - 21) / 4

= 46/4

Since change in elevation per kick is the same;

Number of feets traveled per kivk is ;

x = 46/4 ÷ 5/1

x = 46/4 * 1/5

x = (46*1) / (4*5)

x = 46/20

x = 2 6/20 = 2 3/10

Dolphin travels 2 3/10 feets per kick
