A deep-sea diver must descend and ascend in short steps to equalize pressure on his body. If the diver rises toward the surface too fast, he may suffer from a physical condition called "the bends." Suppose the diver started at 82 feet below the surface and rose in 5 steps of 15 feet each. Use an integer to describe his new position in relation to the water surface.
Question
Answer:
Start by multiplying 15 by 5, and you get 75. then subtract that from 82, and you get 7. Since you are below the surface, the number is negative. So you get -7.
