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.
Substitute values.

SOLUTION
STEP 1
STEP 2
= 6416 + (–6) Multiply –0.12and 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.

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.
