After swimming to a depth of 55 feet below the surface of
the water, a fish swims back up 30 feet. Use a number line
a
to help you create an equation that shows the new location
of the fish in relation to the water's surface.

Interpret the sum in the context of the problem.
A. The equation is -55 +(-30) = -85. The fish is 85 feet below
the water's surface.
O B. The equation is -55+ 30 = -25. The fish is 25 feet below the
water's surface.
C. The equation is -55+ (-30) = -25. The fish is 25 feet below
the water's surface.
D. The equation is -55+ 30 = -85. The fish is 85 feet below the
water's surface.
