What is an addition expression?

This is a way of taking the sum of two or more expressions.

Given the following parameters

  • The distance while descending = -13.7 meters
  • The distance while ascending = +15.2 meters

An additional expression in the form of Descent + Ascent to represent this situation will be -13.7 + 15+ 2

Calculate the sum:

Sum =  -13.7 + 15+ 2Sum = 3.3 meters

Hence the sum means that Eric is 3.3 m above sea level.
