@Photon336 @party_girl @agent0smith @Qwertty123

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

it integer

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

-1349...since it is below sea level.

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

I see

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

+29,035

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

positive*

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

wait so 29,035+-1349

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Difference means minus..

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

I KNOW

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

Yeah, so your number will be positive. It's a bit easier to look it as 29035 - 1349.

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

ok but it "integer"?

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

??

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

Yes, but you're finding the difference between the two objects.

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Correct! ^

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

:)

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

oki so 27686

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

Rite?

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

Try again

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

it would be 27,686 ft in difference

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

Sea level is 1,346 ft above the stone. Add 1,346 to 29,035 because that is the total length between the stone and the climber. Therefore your answer is 30,381 ft. @gottennis121

OpenStudy (marinos):

@Tennis5518 That's right, only you mistyped the number 1,346 (instead of 1,349), so the correct answer would be 30,384 ft. You got the method right though!!

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

I still don't understand?

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

I HATE INTEGERS I'm good at math but hate this subject

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

in math love math but hate integers HELP

OpenStudy (gottennis121):

Ok, so you're above ground 29,035. Then the stone is below ground by 1,346. Got that?

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

yes so -1,346

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

29,035+(-1,346)
