a dolphin is at -35 feet. It swims up and jumps out 6 feet. find the difference.
35 + 6 = ?
what is the difference between 7 and 10?
10 - 7 = 3
similarly, in this problem, subtract the starting value from the end value, and you get
6 - (-35) = 6 + 35 = ___
To find the difference, we need to calculate the change in height of the dolphin.
The initial depth of the dolphin is at -35 feet, and then it swims up and jumps out, reaching a height of 6 feet.
To find the difference, we subtract the initial depth from the final height:
6 feet - (-35 feet) = 6 feet + 35 feet = 41 feet.
Therefore, the difference in height is 41 feet.
