Solution

Calculate the difference of level between the two places
The height of Mount Everest is $8848 m = + 8848 m$ (Since it is above the sea level)
The depth of Java Trench is $7125 m = - 7125 m$ (Since it is below the sea level)
The difference between the two places $= 8848 - (- 7125) = 8848 + 7125 = 15, 973 m$
Thus, the difference between the two places is $15, 973 m$
