Question

An elevator is two floors below ground level and goes

up 5 floors. Write an addition equation that models the
location of the elevator relative to ground level. What
integer represents the new location? Please help me

Answer 1

`here \: elevator \: is \: at \: below \: ground \: \\ level \: by \: two \: floors \\ so \: take \: it \: as \: 1 \: so \: then \: ground \: level = 3 \\ \\ then \: the \:upper \: floor \: is \: 5 \\ \\ then \: upper \: - ground = 5 - 2 = 23\ so \: answer \: is3 \\ thank \: you`

Answer 2

• Third floor

Explanation:

The ground level is zero, then we have the following equations.

2 levels below ground level:

• 0 - 2 = -2

5 levels up:

• -2 + 5 = 3
