Question

Help me please!!!

Makenzie is going scuba diving. For the first dive, she dives 36 feet.
During her second dive she goes down an additional 55 feet farther than
her first dive. How deep was her second dive?

Answer 1

Mackenzie's second dive was -91 feet.

Explanation:

This is because if we look, we can see Mackenzie dived down -36 feet. She then dived -55 feet. To get our answer, we can just ignore the negative sign and do the addition normally. So, 36 + 55. After you finish the addition, don't forget to add the negative sign!
