A cave explorer is at an elevation of −38 feet. The explorer starts moving at a rate of −12 feet per minute. The relationship between the explorer's elevation y, and her rate of decrease x, can be represented be the inequality 7 = -12x -38.
Solve the inequality to determine how many minutes it will take the explorer to reach an elevation deeper than -200 feet.
