Respuesta :

Answer:

The total change in the helicopter's altitude is [tex]-58.3[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation.

[tex]-42.9 +(-15.4)[/tex]

Adding two negative numbers is always negative, so simply add the absolute values and make the answer a negative.

[tex]42.9+15.4 = 58.3[/tex]

Now, change the answer to a negative.

[tex]-58.3[/tex]

Thus, [tex]-58.3[/tex] is the answer.
