Question

HELP ME WITH THIS!!!

Answer 1

5196 m

Explanation:

The sea is level = 0

If Punack Jaya, is 5040 m above sea level then it would be = + 5040 m

If Lake Assal is 156 m below sea level then it would be = - 156 m

The difference between the two elevations:

= 5040 - (-156)

= 5040 + 156 --> two negatives create a positive

= 5196 m

Answer 2

5196

Explanation:

So it's 5040+(-156)

We have to find the absolute value

|-156|=156

5040+156=5196
