Among the following descriptions, this description is correct that says the eagle is flying at a lower elevation than the gyrfalcon.

Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.

Answer:

The eagle is flying at a lower elevation than the gyrfalcon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the eagle is flying at an elevation = x meter

and gyrfalcon is flying at an elevation = y meters

then difference in their elevations = (y-x) meters

1. Now inequality which compares the elevations will be

y - x > 23 - 15

y - x > 8

2. Since gyrfalcon is flying at 23 meters and eagle at 15 meters then the description which is correct.

The eagle is flying at a lower elevation than the gyrfalcon.
