If the diver started at 82 feet below the surface, we can say that it started at -82ft. Then, it rose in 5 steps of 15ft each, it means we need to add 5 times 15ft to the initial position to know diver's current position:
![-82+5\cdot15=-7](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/6hc8rt21aa1l8e2bqi2qt6i7unijmjjya0.png)
The integer that describes diver's new position is -7.
