Question

adding and subtracting one step equations. A dividing board is 12.4 feet above the ground. The bottom of the pool is 16.9 feet below the ground. write and solve an equation that gives a distance from the diving board to the bottom of the pool.​

Answer 1

The distance is 29.3 feet

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the distance from the diving board to the bottom of the pool

To get this, we will need to add the height of the diving board above the ground plus the distance of the bottom of the pool below the ground

Mathematically, we can have this as:

12.4 + 16.9

= 29.3 feet
