An airplane cruising at an altitude of 3500m and a submarine at a depth of 975m. What is the difference?

Hi abh782,

3500m above the water PLUS 975m below the water makes 3500m + 975m

Alternatively difference means take away. The big one take away the little one.

3500 - (- 975) = 3500 - - 975 = 3500 + 975.
