The height of a hot air balloon is tracked as it makes its trip from launch to the landing site. Look at the graph to determine what is happening at each labeled segment of the graph. A graph has time on the x-axis and height on the y-axis. Segment A increases, segment B is constant, segment C is decreasing, and segment D is constant.

Which label corresponds to the segment showing the balloon descending but not landing?

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
