a submarine is 50 meters below sea level. It goes up 15 meters and down 40 meters. What is the submarines new position relative to sea level

Sagot :

Answer:

-75 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use sea level as the reference point.  

Initially the position is -50 m.

If the submarine goes up 15 m, then its new position is (-50 + 15) m, or -35 m.

If the sub now descends 40 m, its new position is (-35 - 40) m, or -75 m
