+2 ( Above) - Use a positive number for a position above sea level.
_ (Down) Use a negative number for a position below sea level.
2 + (-10) = (-10) + 2
_ = -8

Answer 1

Isabella starts her dive at 2 meters above sea level and then dives down 10 meters.

So we can calculate her position below sea level as follows:

Starting position: +2 (above sea level)
Dive: -10 (down)

To find her final position, we can do the following calculation:
2 + (-10) = 2 - 10 = -8

Therefore, Isabella is **8 meters below sea level**.

So your filled statement would look like this:

Isabella, Martina, and Mateo are scuba diving. Isabella starts her dive on the deck of a boat 2 meters above sea level. She dives down 10 meters from her starting position. How many meters below sea level is Isabella?
**+2** (Above) - Use a positive number for a position above sea level.
**-10** (Down) Use a negative number for a position below sea level.
2 + (-10) = (-10) + 2
**-8** = -8

Answer: Isabella is **8 meters below sea level**.
