Answer:
2960 ft.........is the difference between -40ft and 3000ft
System: x + y = 44; x = 2y + 2
Solve with substitution: x = 30; y = 14
x + y = 44
x = 2y + 2
Substitute 2y + 2 for x
2y + 2 + y = 44
3y + 2 = 44
Subtract 2 on both sides.
3y = 42
y = 14
Now substitute back in.
x + 14 = 44
Subtract 14 on both sides.
x = 30
