Answer: The team will be 160 feet below sea level after 3 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the team is at -10 ft relative to sea level then it means that they are 10 feet below sea level, and if they also going  -50 ft per minute, it also means that they are still going below sea level.

The rule will be,     d= -50t -10        

If t is the time, input 3 minutes into  the equation for t and solve for d to find their depth.

d= -50(3) - 10

d= -150 - 10

d= -160
