A dolphin is swimming 3 feet below sea level. It dives down 9 feet to catch some fish. Then the dolphin swims 4 feet up toward the surface with its catch.

What is the dolphin’s final elevation relative to sea level?

Select the correct equation and answer.

• 3 + 9 + (-4)=8

• -3 + (-9) + (+4)= -8

• (-9) + (-3) + 4= 9

• -3 + (-9) +(-4)= -16

Dario was scuba diving at an elevation of −20 feet and then descended 20 feet more. What is his elevation now?

• 20 - (-20) = 0

• -20 + 20= 0

• -20 + (-20)= -40

• 20 + 20 = 40

Latisha has $40 in her checking account. She makes a withdrawal of $20 and then writes a check for $40. Then she deposits $30. What is in her checking account now?

• 40 + (-20) + (-40) + 30= +10

• 40 -(-20) -(+40) -30= -10

• 40 - 20 - 40 - 30= -10
