Answer:

-32ft

Given parameters:

Original depth of the submarine  = -18ft

New depth  = -50ft

Unknown:

Change in depth = ?

Solution:

 The change in depth will be the difference in depth between the new and original depth.

 Change in depth = New depth  - original depth

  Change in depth  = -50ft - (-18ft) = -32ft

The change in depth of the submarine is -32ft.
