After visiting the Titanic, Captain Brain and Mr. Pinky are taking the Alvin submarine back to the surface of the water. They start 1500 meters below the surface of the water, and ascend at 37 meters per hour.

Note: under the water is a negative number.

Write an equation to model this situation (use
m for meters and h for hours).

m = 37 h - 1500

Sure thing! Let me give it a clownish twist for you:

The equation to model their situation can be written as:
m = -1500 + 37h

Where:
m represents the depth in meters below the surface (negative values indicate being underwater).
h represents the time in hours.

So, to figure out how deep they are after a certain number of hours, just plug in the value of h into the equation and solve for m. Happy ascending!

To model this situation, we can use the equation:

h = -1500 + 37t

Where:
h is the depth below the surface of the water (in meters), and
t is the time in hours since they started ascending.

In this equation, -1500 represents the starting depth (1500 meters below the surface), and 37t represents the distance they ascend per hour.

To write an equation that models this situation, we can use the concept of distance traveled, assuming the starting point is 1500 meters below the surface of the water. Since the distance traveled is equal to the rate of ascent multiplied by the time, we can use the following equation:

Distance Traveled = Starting Point + Rate of Ascent × Time

In this case, the starting point is -1500 meters (negative indicating below the surface), the rate of ascent is 37 meters per hour, and the time is represented by h (hours). Therefore, the equation to model this situation is:

Distance Traveled = -1500 + 37h
