6. Lakes EXAMPLE 4 Solve a multi-step problem In 1900 the elevation of Mono Lake in California was about 6416 feet. From 1900 to 1950, the average rate of change in elevation was about – 0.12 foot per year.From 1950 to 2000, the average rate of change was about – 0.526 foot per year. Approximate the elevation in 2000.

7. Substitute values. EXAMPLE 4 Solve a multi-step problem SOLUTION STEP 1 STEP 2 = 6416 + (–6) Multiply – 0.12 and 50. New elevation = Calculate the elevation in 1950. Use the elevation in 1900 as the original elevation. The time span 1950 – 1900 = 50 years. 6416 +(–0.12)(50) Write a verbal model. = 6410 Add 6416 and –6. New elevation (feet) Original elevation (feet) Average rate of change (feet/year) Time passed (years) = +

8. New elevation = = 6383.7 Multiply – 0.526 and 50. Substitute values. EXAMPLE 4 Solve a multi-step problem STEP 3 = 6410 + (–26.3) Add 6410 and –26.3. Calculate the elevation in 2000. Use the elevation in 1950 as the original elevation. The time span 2000 – 1950 = 50 years. 6410 +(– 0.526)(50)

9. EXAMPLE 4 Solve a multi-step problem ANSWER The elevation in 2000 was about 6383.7 feet above sea level.
