Answer:
5196 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The sea is level = 0
If Punack Jaya, is 5040 m above sea level then it would be = + 5040 m
If Lake Assal is 156 m below sea level then it would be = - 156 m
The difference between the two elevations:
= 5040 - (-156)
= 5040 + 156 --> two negatives create a positive
= 5196 m
