A submarine starts at 0 units and has groups of 3 floats and groups of 4 anchors attached.
Using these groups of floats and anchors, write as many different expressions as you can that would make the submarine's final position -5 units.
write three expressions

Respuesta :

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

The three equivalent expressions of the final position are:

-(5)(3) - (2)(4), -(5)(3) + (-2)(4) and -(5)(3) + (2)(-4)

From the question,

  1. Each float takes a step of 5 units
  2. Each group takes a step of 2 units

So, the final position of the submarine is:

Final = -(5)(3) - (2)(4)

The minus "-" sign implies that the submarine moves downwards i.e. it sinks

The equivalent expressions of the final position are:

-(5)(3) - (2)(4), -(5)(3) + (-2)(4) and -(5)(3) + (2)(-4)
