The given details are illustrations of addition and subtractions of fractions.  The scuba driver is at an elevation of -5\frac{1}{15} ft below the sea  level.

Given that:

n_1 = 1\frac 23 --- the first dive

n_2 = 3\frac 25 ---- the additional dive

From the question, we understand that the diver starts at the sea level.

This is represented with 0ft.

So, the diver's elevation (d) is calculated as follows:

d = 0 - n_1 - n_2 --- we use subtraction because the diver is below the sea level

So, we have:

d = 0 - 1\frac 23 - 3\frac 25

d = - 1\frac 23 - 3\frac 25

Convert fractions

d = - \frac 53 - \frac{17}5

Take LCM

d = \frac{-5 \times 5 - 17 \times 3}{15}

d = \frac{-76}{15}

Reduce fraction

d = -5\frac{1}{15}

The above value means that the diver's elevation is at -5\frac{1}{15} ft below the sea  level.

How to solve for equation:<br> y = x squared - 15x + 14
vichka [17]

Answer:

x=14, x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

View Image.

First factor the equation. Which numbers multiplies to 14 and adds up to -15? It's -14 and -1 so the equation is factored to (x-14)(x-1). I assume that you know how to do this.

Then set the values inside the parentheses equal to 0 and solve for x.
