Find the difference in height between the top of a hill 97.3 feet high and a crack caused by an earthquake 79 feet below sea level.

Answer 1

add the numbers together 97.3+79

Answer 2

I'm confused because I thought you were suppose to subtract because you're dealing with integers. I'm thinking the key in here is "below" which means it's negative or to subtract.
