Question 1049338: The lowest point in Death Valley is 86 meters below sea level. A helicopter flying at an altitude of 41 meters above this point climbed 28 meters and then dropped 37 meters. At what altitude relative to sea level was it when flying? Write an addition problem using integers and solve. Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the lowest point in the valley is 86 m. below sea level, then a helicopter 41 m. above it is: -86+41, or -45 m. sea level.
Then -45+28-37=-54, or 54 m. below sea level. ☺☺☺☺
