Answer: 5890 meters

Explanation:

Given: The highest point in the mountains of Seattle is 5,833 meters above sea level.

The lowest point in the valley is 57 meters below sea level.

in integers it is represented by -57 meters. [we use negative integer to represents "below"]

Difference between the highest and lowest point = Highest point - lowest point

= 5,833 meters -(-57) meters

= (5833 + 57) meters [a-(-b)= a+b]

= 5890 meters

Hence, the required difference = 5890 meters
