Answer: -25 - 13
This simplifies to -38
So the worker's final position is 38 feet below the ground.
A diagram is shown below.
==========================================================
Explanation:
Draw a vertical number line. Plot 0 on it to indicate the ground level, or surface level. Then plot -25 on it, which is below 0. This is 25 feet below the ground.
To move 13 further feet downward, we will subtract 13 from -25. Subtracting a positive means we move downward.
For example, start at the 30th of a building. This is marked as +30 or just 30 on the vertical number line. Subtract off 13 to go down 13 floors and we have 30-13 = 17. So after going down 13 floors, we're at the 17th floor now.
Going back to the problem at hand, we start at -25 and subtract off 13 to get the final answer -25 - 13
The answer is not -25 - -13 and it is not -25 - (-13). This is because the two negatives cancel to be a positive. So -25 - (-13) becomes -25+13. Here we're starting at -25 but then going up 13 feet. Instead we want to go down 13 feet.
------------------------------------
After we determine the expression is -25 - 13 we will effectively add the positive versions of those numbers like so
25+13 = 38
But the final answer is negative because we're starting underground and moving further underground.
We can write it like this
-25 - 13 = -(25+13) = -(38) = -38
Therefore, if the worker starts off 25 feet underground, and moves 13 feet downward, then the worker ends up 38 feet underground. Again, use the vertical number line to help see this.

Answer:
Please see attached image for the graph
Step-by-step explanation:
To graph the elevation versus time, we start by plotting the first point at time zero (when the climb begins) when Zane is 20 meters below the edge (-20 meters). This corresponds to the point (0, -20).
One second later (1 in the horizontal axis), Zane has moved up 4 meters, now reaching -16 meters. This is the point (1, -16) on the graph.
One second later at time 2 seconds, he is another 4 meters up which corresponds to the point (2, -12) on the graph.
you can go on like this plotting more points on the graph.
Please see the attached image that illustrates this and shows the appropriate line that represents Zane's position versus time (pictured in red)
