Question
The deepest point in the Pacific Ocean is 676 m more than twice the deepest point in the Arctic Ocean. If the deepest point in the Pacific is 10,920 m, how many meters is the deepest point in the Arctic Ocean?
Step 1
According to the problem, the deepest point in the Pacific Ocean is 676 m more than twice the deepest point in the Arctic Ocean. We can write this as an equation: \[2x + 676 = 10920\] Show more…
