Question Help
Doug dives from a platform that is 7.5 meters above water. His dive takes him 1.5 meters below the surface of the water. How
far does Doug's dive take him?
Doug's dive takes him meters.

Answer 1

9 meters

Explanation:

|7.5|+|-1.5|=9

(the || on either side of each number shows that it's representing how far the number is from 0, so it's essentially 7.5+1.5)
