5. A diver is 5 feet (ft.) below sea level and swims 8 feet deeper. Write and solve an equation to represent the distance of the diver after the descent.

Answer

Equation: Let the initial depth be -5 feet (since it's below sea level). The diver swims 8 feet deeper, so the equation is:

-5 - 8 = x

Solution: x = -13

The diver is 13 feet below sea level after the descent.
