Question

eghosa starts at -250 feet and climbs up to an elevation of 50 feet. how far did eghosa climb? rewrite the equation using the additive inverse of -250. -250 + c = 50 c = 50 - (-250) c = \square \square \square + 250 50 -250

Explanation:

Step1: Recall additive inverse property

The additive inverse of -250 is 250, and subtracting a number equals adding its inverse: $50 - (-250) = 50 + 250$.

Step2: Rewrite the equation

Substitute the inverse into the expression: $c = 50 + 250$.

Answer:

50 + 250
