I know this because ascending and descending are opposite actions. When the plane ascends 15,000 feet, it goes up, and when it descends 15,000 feet, it goes down. These two actions cancel each other out, resulting in a net change of 0. Therefore, the plane is at the same height as the ground.

how do you know

The situation that describes opposite quantities that when combined would equal 0 is: A plane ascends to 15,000 feet and then descends 15,000 feet. How many feet above the ground is the plane?
