Question

A deep-sea diver dives 81 feet from the surface heat dives 14 more feet The divers death can be represented by -81 + (-14) what is the divers present location

Answer 1

The diver is 95 feet away from the surface or the present location of diver is -95 feet.

Explanation:

We are given the following information:

The sea diver dives 81 feet from the surface.

Thus, the present location of sea diver is -81.

Now, he further goes 14 feet away from the surface.

In order to find the exact location of the diver, we use the expression:

`-81 + (-14)`

Basically, through this expression we are adding the distance of the diver below the surface and the negative sign denotes that the diver is going in the opposite direction that is away from the surface.

`-81 + (-14) = -81-14 = -(81+14) = -95`

Hence, the diver is 95 feet away from the surface or the present location of diver is -95 feet.

Answer 2

Answer: -95

Explanation:

Always remember this tune

(It goes to row row row your boat)

Same signs add and keep

Different signs subtract,

Keep the sign of the higher number then you’ll be exact

Since the diver is at -81 feet you would add -14 to -81 since the signs are the same. So the Dover is -95 feet under water.
