Question

A diver started at 4 feet above ground. After diving he ended at 58 feet below the surface

of the water. What was the change in elevation of the diver? Solve and write an equation,
then model with a number line.​

Answer 1

62

Explanation:

If the diver started 4 four feet above the ground and ended 58 feet below the surface, the diver went down, so we can solve this by taking the total distance traveled like so:

`|4+58|` = 62
