idk what a net result is.
Favorite Answer
x – 5 +3
this means, x is ground level where he started
… first he dug 5 feet (so; x-5)
… … then he added back 3 feet (+3)
or if you are a little bit more advanced
x = the final height of the ground in the dig-site;
x = t -5 +3
this assumes the height of the initial dig was at T feet, with this it is possible to find either; the height before he started or the height after he finished by knowing the other one (IE if you know t you can find x , or if you know x you can find t)
