An airplane at 30,100 feet above ground begins descending at the rate of 2,150 feet per minute. Write a linear equation to find how many minutes it will take the plane to reach the ground.
y=30100 - 2150x
y = 30100 + 2150x
0 = 30100 - 2150x
y = 30100 - 2150(0)

A landscaping company bought a total of 25 plants and trees. The total cost of the plants and trees was $964. Each plant costs $12, while each tree costs $95. Which set of equations correctly represents this situation?
p + t = 25
12p + 95t = 964
p + t = 964
95p + 12t = 25
107pt = 964
12p + 95t = 107
25p = 964

A roadside vegetable stand sells pumpkins for $5 each and tomatoes for $3 each. The total sales on a certain day was $98. If they sold 10 pumpkins, write a linear equation to find the number of tomatoes sold.
5p + 3t = 98
5(10) + 3t = 98
5p + 3(10) = 98
5(10) + 3(10) = 98

ChitChat Wireless charges $0.30 per minute plus a monthly base fee. In September, Maggie used 120 minutes and her bill was $51. Write a equation to find the cost of the base fee. Select all that apply.
y - 51 = 0.3 (x - 120)
y + 51 = 0.3 (x + 120)
y = 0.3(120) + 51
51 = 0.3(120) + b
