    Answer:

    140

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi there!

    This problem may seem tricky because of the negative sea level, os let’s set up an equation.

    -275+x=-135 where x = the change in elevation.

    Using orders of operations, add 275 to both sides and you will end with

    x = 140

    Her change in elevation is 140 feet.

    I hope this helps!
