Question

A traffic helicopter descends

136

meters to be

359

meters above the ground. What was the original height of the​ helicopter?

Let h be the original height of the helicopter. What is a subtraction equation that models the​ problem?

Answer 1

Hi Jade L

Since you started at your original height, h and you descended or went down by 136 to 359 then you can solve h with the equation below, give it a try?

h - 136 = 359

I hope this helps.
