<span>Treat the surface of the water as 0. The initial height of the weight was 4 ft above the surface of the water, therefore making it have an initial height of +4. If it travels 12 ft downward to hit the bottom of the pool, that means its height decreased by 12, so its falling is -12. To calculate the depth of the pool, use initial height minus drop distance, so 4 - 12. The depth of the pool is 8 ft.</span>
        
             
        
        
        
Asssuming blanks are plus
5(x+1)=4(x+8)
distribute
a(b+c)=ab+ac
5(x+1)=5x+5
4(x+8)=4x+32
5x+5=4x+32
minus 4x from both sides
x+5=32
minus 5 from both sides
x=27
