Josh Maxwell · Answer 1

-1500

Step-by-step explanation:

"descends," means to go down (ascend means to go up), so the number would be negative. The number given is 1500, so we use that, and get - 1500.

Tamia · Answer 2

-1500

Step-by-step explanation: Descending means "going down" negative numbers are below normal. They had descended from the normal numbers.
