Two friends went fishing on a lake. One friend's lure went 23 feet below the lake's surface, while the other friend's lure sank to a depth of 81 feet below the surface. What was the difference in the depths of the lures?

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the lure's difference with A and B;

Required

Determine the difference in depth between the lure's depth

The distance is calculated as follows;

Substitute 23 feet for A and 81 feet for B

Hence, the distance between both lure's is 58 feet
