A man is hiking in Death Valley. He starts at an elevation of 65 feet above sea level and descends to an elevation 30 feet below sea level. How far did the hiker travel?

he starts at +35 sea lvl, and then descends to -30 sea lvl

35 - (-30) = 35 + 30 = 65

The hiker traveled down 65 feet

hope this helps
