Answer:
X = Y - 11873.21
X = 17009.1 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the elevation of Mt. Wilson. And
Y = Mt snow Crest.
Since Snow Crest is 11,873.21 feet higher than Mt. Wilson, the equation will be
X = Y - 11873.21
Where Y = 28,882.31
Substitute Y into the equation
X = 28882.31 - 11873.21
X = 17009.1 feet.
