Explanation:

At the elevation 617.5 feet below the sea level temperature of the water was °F

Explanation:

At 502.5 feet below the sea level temperature of the water is °F

When submarine dives down 115 feet deeper, water temperature drops by °F

Elevation after the submarine dove = -502.5 - 115 = -617.5 feet

This negative sign represents the elevation below the sea level.

And the temperature will be = 

= 

= 

= 

= °F

Therefore, at the elevation 617.5 feet below the sea level temperature of the water was °F

Hope it will help you.....
