Answer:
15,003 and Highest Point
Step-by-step explanation:
The highest point is at a positive 14,864 feet so we will use the number 14, 864.
The lowest is at a negative (below sea level) 141, so we will use the number -141.
The difference between them means that you subtract.
14,862-(-141)= x
Note that there is a double negative so it is positive.
14862+141=15,003 feet difference between them.
A city at 7642 above sea level is:
7642-14862=7222 feet away. The city is 7222 feet away from the highest point.
7642--141=7783 feet away. The city is 7783 feet away from the lowest point.
7222 is less than 7783, so the city is closest to the highest point.
