Question

At its highest​ point, the elevation of a county is 5,763 feet above sea level. At its lowest​ point, the elevation of the county is 8 feet below sea level

Answer 1

Expression = (y + 5,763) - (y - 8)

Simplified expression = 5,763 + 8

Explanation:

• Note: The question is incomplete, however, the concluding part is ; write an expression, using integers to represent the difference between the elevations.

We can make y represent the sea level.

Since the highest point of the country is 5,763 feet above sea level, it Means that the expression can be written as;

y + 5,763

Also, we know that the lowest point is 8 feet below the sea level, hence expression can be written as;

y - 8

We can then find the difference(expression) between both elevation.

= (y + 5,763) - (y - 8)

When the expression is further simplified, we'll have;

5,763 + 8
