Question

6.) Ms. Speer is scuba diving. She descends 5 feet below sea level. She descends the same distance 4 more times. What is Ms. Speer's final elevation? * ​

Answer 1

Answer:

-25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First she descends 5 feet below sea level

She then descends the SAME DISTANCE ( so 5 feet ) 4 MORE TIMES

So feet descended = 4 * 5 + 5

4 * 5 = 20

20 + 5 = 25

Her final elevation will be -25 feet

( it's important that we add a negative sign because she is descending meaning going down )
