Difference in elevation = 29,035 ft - (-1,349 ft)

*inserted malfunction
you started down in a hole
went up 1349 feet to ground
then went up ANOTHER 29035 feet from ground to top of the mountain
+5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = + 8

1 - 1 = 0
1 - (-1) = 2
5 - x is x units left of 5 on number line
5 - -x is x units RIGHT of 5 on number line
oh ok thx!!
Whew ! :) You are welcome :)
