    From 199 meters above sea level, Linda took off in her helicopter and descended 296 meters. What is Lindas elevation now?

    Descended means we subtract 296 meters from 199 meters.
    Elevation Now = 199 - 296
    Elevation Now = -97

    Negative elevation means below sea level. So our answer is:
    97 meters below sea level
