A hike starts at an elevation 20 meters below sea level and ends at a point 3400 meters higher than the starting point. What would your elevation be, in meters, at the end of the hike?
3420 meters
3380 meters
-3380 meters
O
-3420 meters

The correct answer is 3380 meters

Explanation:

The initial elevation of the hike can be represented as -20 meters, this is because the initial elevation is below the sea level, and in terms of elevation the sea level is considered to be 0. Now, using this number the final elevation can be calculated by adding the two numbers:

-20 + 3400 = 3380

This implies the final elevation has 3380 meters

You can also get this same result by considering there are 20 meters from the initial elevation to the sea level and then 3380 meters from the sea level to the final elevation (3380+20 = 3400).

my answer is$ 12

step-by-step explanation:

because 15 -2=12

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
