An airplane flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet flies up to avoid a storm. Immediately after passing the storm, the airplane returns to its original altitude. What integer represents the airplane's change in altitude to avoid the storm? What integer represents the altitude after passing the storm?

Answer:

The integer representing the change of altitude to avoid the storm is 8,000

The integer representing the altitude after passing the storm is 30,000

Explanation:

The diagram of this question is shown in the attached image

We are given that the initial altitude of the plane was 30,000 ft

1- During the storm:

The plane flew at at altitude of 38,000 feet

To get the change in the altitude, we will subtract the final altitude from the initial one

change of altitude = final altitude - initial altitude

change of altitude = 38,000 - 30,000 = 8,000 ft

Therefore, the integer representing the change of altitude to avoid the storm is 8,000

2- After the storm:

We know that, after the storm, the plane returned to its initial altitude

Given that the initial altitude is 30,000 ft, this would mean that the integer representing the altitude after passing the storm is 30,000

Hope this helps :)
