X+11,194.21=28251.31
28251.31-11,194.21=17057.1

Answer 2

Answer:
`17057.1\text{ feet}`

Explanation:

Given : The elevation of K2 Mountain= 28251.31 feet

Let x be the elevation of the Mt.Kenya.

The according to the statement "K2 is 11,194.21 feet higher than Mt.Kenya", we have the following equation:-

`x=28251.31-11194.21\\\\\Rightarrow x= 17057.1\text{ feet}`

Hence, the elevation of Mt.Kenya =
`17057.1\text{ feet}`
