A submarine is cruising 8 meters below the surface. The captain orders a dive of another 17 meters. What is the new cruising depth of the submarine in meters?

25 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that,

Initial depth of the submarine = 8 meters

After the order of the captain, the submarine was made to dive another 17 meters.

So, the final cruising depth of the submarine can be calculated by adding the initial depth of the submarine and the depth further increased upon the order of the captain.

Thus, final cruising depth of the submarine = 8 + 17 = 25 meters.

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

answer: both chords and diameters have two endpoints on a circle. diameters must intersect the center of a circle.
