Answer:

Yes, he is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Michael's home with M and his mother's with H

So, we have:

[tex]M = 12\ ft (below)[/tex]

[tex]H = 12\ ft (above)[/tex]

Required

Is Michael correct?

First, we get the numeric values of the given parameters.

Below sea level means negative:

So:

[tex]M = 12\ ft (below)[/tex] will be rewritten as:

[tex]M = -12[/tex]

Above sea level means positive:

So:

[tex]H = 12\ ft (above)[/tex] will be rewritten as:

[tex]H = 12[/tex]

Two numbers [tex]A\ and\ B[/tex] are said to be opposite if [tex]A + B=0[/tex]

For Michael to be correct:

[tex]M + H = 0[/tex]

Substitute values for M and H

[tex]-12 + 12 = 0[/tex]

[tex]0 = 0[/tex]

Hence, Michael is correct
