Question

(PLZ HELP WITH THIS!) Elevator 1 moved up 15 feet from the ground level. Its position is labeled as +15. Elevator 2 moved down 6 feet from the ground level. Its position is labeled as _____. (Use the hyphen for negative such as -1)

Answer 1

Since both elevators started at ground level and elevator one moved up 15 feet and was denoted with +15. Elevator 2 should be labeled -6 since it moved 6 feet down from ground level.

So -6 should be the answer.
