Question

I really need help, struggling. Question is in image. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

164

Step-by-step explanation:

Checkpoint 2= -187

Checkpoint 1= -23

The negatives mean how much lower they are from the surface.

To find "how much lower," we need to subtract -23 from -187.

-187-(-23) is the same as -187+23 (2 negatives=1 positive)

-187+23= -164.

However, it's not negative in the answer because by asking how much lower, we don't need to have a negative. "How much lower" is a distance, and a distance is always positive.
