    Initial dive: - 248 (below the surface which represents '0')

    Second dive: - 10

    Present depth - 248 + - 10 = - 258 feet below the surface

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can use negative integers to represent real-world scenarios such as in elevation and descent, bank account balances and temperatures. In this case, because a diver is descending below the surface of the water, the surface of the water represents the '0' and going down into the water would be negative integers. So, his initial dive is 248 down, or negative 248 (-248), he then dives down an additional 10 feet, or negative 10 (-10). Since the second dive is in addition to his initial dive, we add the two integers together:

    -248 + - 10 = - 258 feet
