    A submarine dove 132.58 meters to reach a resting depth of 700 meter below sea level. What was it's original depth

    Below sea level is a negative amount. So they end up at -700.

    To go back up toward sea level, we'd be at:
    -700 + 132.58 = -567.42

    Negative numbers mean below sea level, so the original depth was 567.42 meters below sea level
