The highest location in a certain country is 14,864 feet above sea level. The lowest point in the same country is 141 feet below sea level. Find the difference of the two elevations.
A city is 7,642 feet above sea level. Is this elevation closer to the highest point or the lowest point?

15,003 and Highest Point

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest point is at a positive 14,864 feet so we will use the number 14, 864.

The lowest is at a negative (below sea level) 141, so we will use the number -141.

The difference between them means that you subtract.

14,862-(-141)= x

Note that there is a double negative so it is positive.

14862+141=15,003 feet difference between them.

A city at 7642 above sea level is:

7642-14862=7222 feet away. The city is 7222 feet away from the highest point.

7642--141=7783 feet away. The city is 7783 feet away from the lowest point.

7222 is less than 7783, so the city is closest to the highest point.

The difference is 15,005 and for the second part its closer to the highest point

Hope this helps!
