An embedded system monitoring a deep-sea submersible records depth deviation values using 8-bit two's complement representation. During a descent, the system logs two consecutive depth adjustments of -13 metres and -9 metres.
Complete the table to show the 8-bit two's complement binary addition of these two negative values to determine the combined adjustment.
