Eve takes a subway train to work that travels at an average elevation of -14 feet. Jacob takes a bus to work that travels at an average elevation 14 feet higher than eves train. What is the average elevation the bus travels at?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]0\text{ feet}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Eve takes a subway train to work that travels at an average elevation of [tex]-14[/tex] feet. Jacob takes a bus to work that travels at an average elevation [tex]14[/tex] feet higher than eves train.

TO FIND: Average elevation the bus travels at.

SOLUTION:

Average elevation of subway train [tex]=-14\text{ feet}[/tex]

Now,

Jacob takes a bus to work that travels at an average elevation [tex]14\text{ feet}[/tex] higher than that of subway train.

Average elevation of bus [tex]=\text{Average elevation of subway train}+14[/tex]

putting the value

Average elevation of bus [tex]=14+(-14)[/tex]

                                          [tex]=14-14=0\text{ feet}[/tex]

Hence the average elevation at which the bus travels at is [tex]0[/tex] feet or ground level.
