After first entering the ocean, a scuba diver descends to a depth 18 feet below the surface of the water. The diver then ascends 7 feet before descending 18 feet again. What is the final depth of the diver below the surface of the water?

The diver is 29 ft below the water surface

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the diver’s final depth before the surface of the water.

Firstly he descends 18 feet before ascending 7 feet. His depth would thus be;

18ft -7ft = 11 ft initially

It is at this point he descended a further 18 feet which makes his total feet of descent = 11 ft + 18 ft = 29 ft

This means he is 29 ft below the surface of the water

this shows a reflection over the x-axis and is translated one unit down and 6 units to the right (x + 6, y - 1)

hope this !
