Answer:

The elevation of Mt. Wilson is 16,160.10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> represent the elevation of Mt. Wilson

y ----> represent the elevation of Snow Crest

we know that

y=x+11,990.21 ----> linear equation that represent this situation

we have that

y=28,150.31 ft ----> see the attached figure

substitute in the linear equation and solve for x

28,150.31=x+11,990.21

x=28,150.31-11,990.21=16,160.10 ft
