The elevator in the washington monument takes 75 seconds to travel 500 feet to the top floor. what is the speed of the elevator in miles per hour? show your work and explain your reasoning in the space below.

i believe so, according to my "strange" way of figuring out weird math problems like this.

3/8

2 equivalent expressions to represent the area of a rectangle and the top is n-3 and the side is 2

area of the rectangle = length * width

given length = n - 3

width = 2

replace it in the area

so area of the rectangle = (n-3) *2

= 2(n-3)

one of the expression is 2(n-3)

to get another expression we distribute 2 inside the parenthesis

2(n-3) is 2n - 6

so another expression is 2n - 6

two equivalent expression are

2(n - 3)   , 2n - 6
