Death Valley has the lowest elevation in California at 282 feet below sea level. Santa Ana has an elevation of 135 feet above sea level. What is the difference in elevation between Death Valley and Santa Ana?

The answer is 417

Step-by-step explanation:

Death Valley is at -282 and Santa Anna is at 135 positive feet.

Since you are looking for the difference, you have to subtract. You can then do 135- (-282) as Death Valley is at a negative level while Santa Anna is positive. 2 negatives equal a positive, so you can add instead of subtract, but you cancel out the minus signs. You add 135+282 to get 417.

Hope this helps!

2 negatives = Positive

1 Negative plus positive = Subtraction

2 Positives = Positive

So on and so forth.

417 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to add both values to find the difference in elevation.

282 + 135 = 417

Note that below sea level means the number will be negative. Since we are trying to find the difference, it has to be a positive number not a negative number since we are going up rather than down.

Best of Luck!
