The Adventure Club has scheduled a trip to hike a nearby mountain. Since the group started hiking, they gained 456 feet in altitude from their start position. The current altitude is 437 feet, but there is no record of their starting altitude. write a equation to represent this situation

Explain what your variable represents

solve your equation

please someone help me ill give you a star anything please ♡​

Equation- s + 456 = 437 (I'm not completely sure if this is what your wanting but it is possible to solve the problem with this equation. if this isn't what you need I can write another)

Step-by-step explanation:

s represents the starting height.

s + 456 = 437

first subtract 456 from either side, 437 - 456 = -19.

s = -19 (I'm not sure if this is correct it's been a few months since I've used variables for equations but I tried)

my best guesses would have to be either 4.5 or 2. p.s. if they're wrong, i'm so sorry for giving you the wrong answer.
