Question

A turtle was swimming 2 feet below the surface of a pond. While looking for food, he went down 7 more feet.

Answer 1

Answer: 9 feet below or -9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

   Let us say 0 is the surface of a pond. The turtle started at -2 and then traveled -7 more. We will add these negative values to each other.

-2 + -7 = -2 - 7 = -9

          The turtle is now -9, or 9 feet below, the surface of the pond.
