Step1: Calculate total earnings
Marcus earns $25 from babysitting and $32 from cleaning the garage. So the total earnings are $25 + 32=57$.
Step2: Subtract the debt
He owes his mother $10. So the money he has after paying his mother is $57- 10 = 47$.
Step1: Initial water - level representation
The water is 4 feet above its usual level, which can be represented as + 4.
Step2: Calculate the change
The level drops 7 feet, so we subtract 7 from the initial level. The final level is $4-7=-3$.
On a number - line, we start at 4 and move 7 units to the left, which lands us at - 3.
When we subtract a positive number from a greater positive number, for example, $a - b$ where $a>b$ and $a,b>0$, the result is positive. Let $a = 5$ and $b = 3$, then $5−3 = 2$.
