Patrick starts hiking at an elevation of negative 418 feet. he ascends to an elevation of 387 feet and then descends to an elevation 94 feet higher than where he began. he descended 132 feet. what is the elevation of where he stops hiking?

I got negative 456 but i wanted to double check so i posted this, any more answers?

The second elevation is irrelevent

The third elevation is 94 feet higher than where he began = -418 + 94 = -324  feet

If he descends another 132  feet, we have   -324 - 132 =  -456 feet

 

Looks like you're OK with your answer  !!!!
