Question

a fish 8 feet below the surface of the water starts to descend at 2 feet per second. an eel that started 23 feet below the surface ascends at a rate of 3 feet per second. write an equation to model the position of each. when are they at the same position? what is that position?

Answer 1

start by adding one entre number to each on so 23 plus 3 is 20 because they are opposites. next add 2 to the fish so 8 plus 2 is 10 Last what you do is find a number they have in common like 14 and after some work your integer is 14!
