take a look at the number line.
29035 is to the right of 0.
-1349 is to the left of 0.
so, the distance between them (the difference, in other words) is
29035 - (-1349) = 29035+1349 = 30384
29035 is to the right of 0.
-1349 is to the left of 0.
so, the distance between them (the difference, in other words) is
29035 - (-1349) = 29035+1349 = 30384

If the mountain climber is at 29,035 ft. above sea level and the stone in the sea is at 1,349 ft. below sea level. Then 29,035 is a positive and the -1349 is a negative. So 29,035 - (-1,349) =30,384.
