variables are
x = deepest point in the artic ocean
The equation should be...
676 meters + 2x = 10920 meters
Therefore, we subtract 676 meters from 10920 meters
resulting in 10244 meters
Algebraic equation would be 2x = 10244
Next step : divide 2 from each side
2x/2 = 10244/2
Final Answer = x = 5122 meters!

10920m=676m+2*x, where x is the deepest point in the artic
which is
(10920-676)/2=x
x=5122
