    35000 - 2500m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Height of the airplane before it starts descending = 35,000 feet

    Rate of descend = 2500 feet per minute

    This means for every 1 minute the height of airplane is decreasing by 2500 feet. So, for every "m" minutes the height of airplane will decrease by 2500m feet.

    Let h (m) denotes the height of the airplane after m minutes. The equation for h (m) can be set up as:

    Height of airplane at m'th minute = Original Height - Distance descended in m minutes

    So,

    h (m) = 35000 - 2500m

    This expression describes the height of airplane after any number of minutes (m).
