A commercial jet liner hits an air pocket and drops 277 feet. After climbing 175 ​feet, it drops another 105 feet. What is its overall vertical​ change?

Unless there is more to it than I think, but this is what think:

-277 + 175 - 105=-207 feet drop before it hit the air pocket, which is the net vertical change.
