A diver is currently at an elevation of -380 feet. Write an absolute value statement to express the diver's distance, in feet, from sea level. Then, interpret the result in this situation by explaining what this means for the diver.

The diver is at a distance of 380 feets below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

An absolute value statement which is equivalent to being at an elevation of - 380 feets is to relate the position to being above or below sea level.

Elevation below sea level are represented as negative while elevations above take positive values.

The sea level represents a midpoint or zero point for representibg distances.

Hence, at - 380 feets, the diver is at a distance of 380 feets measured for the sea level below.

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
