Answer:

A) The submarine was -249  feet below sea level after 7 minutes.

B) The submarine will have reached sea level after 26.15384615384615 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 7 minutes

So...

Our equation will be -340 + 13 x 7 =

First, we will solve the multiplication.

13 x 7 = (10 x 7) + (3 x 7) = 70 + 21 = 91.

Then, we solve the addition. -340 + 91 = 340 - 91 = 249

So, the submarine was -249 feet below sea level after 7 minutes.
