Answer:

20,000 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the initial altitude and the rate that the plane is descending, the relevant equation is = 30,000 - 2,000x. The altitude after 5 minutes is 20,000 feet above sea level.

The plane begins at 30,000 feet above ground and is descending at 2,000 feet per minute. The relevant equation after x minutes is:

= Initial altitude - (Descent in feet per minute x Number of minutes)

Plugging in the values gives:

= 30,000 - (2,000 × x)

= 30,000 - 2,000x
