Question

a submarine is 50 meter below sea levl. it goes up 15 meters, then goes down 40 meters. what is the submarine' new position relative to sea level ? 1. ( -105 meters) 2. ( -75meters) 3.( -35 meters) 4. ( 25 meters)

Answer 1

First condition of submarine=50 m below the sea=-50 m

It goes up 15 m, that means we must add up 15 m.

-50 m+15 m=

15 m-50 m=-35 m (35 m below the sea)

And, then goes down 40 m, so we subtract it with 40 m.

-35 m-40 m=-75 m (75 m below the sea)

So, the right answer is 2. (-75 meters)

Thank you.

Answer 2

Answer:

-75 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract 15 from 50, since it is going up:

50 - 15

= 35

Then, add 40, since it is going back down:

35 + 40

= 75

So, the new position is -75 meters relative to sea level
