Start with what we know: Our lowest number is
![p](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p)
and we want a sum, let's call that
![S](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S)
.
We know we want consecutive numbers and we want 4 of them. Numbers are consecutive if they come "one after another", that is to say: we can get from one to the other by adding or subtracting 1.
If we start with
![p](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p)
we can get consecutive numbers by repeatedly adding 1 (notice we aren't using the "or subtracting" part here because we know
![p](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p)
is our lowest number).
So: starting with
![p](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p)
, adding one over and over until we've got our four numbers we have:
![p](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p)
![p+1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p%2B1)
![(p+1)+1=p+2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28p%2B1%29%2B1%3Dp%2B2)
![(p+2)+1=p+3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28p%2B2%29%2B1%3Dp%2B3)
And now we can write our sum:

Answer:
The difference of <u>12,583 feet</u> in elevation between the mountain and the valley.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A mountain is 12,408 feet above sea level, and a valley is 175 feet below sea level.
Now, to get the difference in elevation between the mountain and the valley.
As mountain is above sea level = 12,408 feet.
And valley is below sea level = 175 feet.
So, by adding we get the difference in elevation between the mountain and the valley:
![12408\ feet +175\ feet](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=12408%5C%20feet%20%2B175%5C%20feet)
![=12583\ feet.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D12583%5C%20feet.)
Therefore, the difference of 12,583 feet in elevation between the mountain and the valley.
