Question 133477: I need some assistance with the following word problem please.
On Tuesday the weather in Winston, ND, was –2 degrees F. That night the temperature dropped another 17 degrees F. During the day on Wednesday the temperature rose 11 degrees F to reach that day’s high. What was the high temperature on Wednesday?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! this is simple
you have tues : -2 degrees farenheight right.
so if it drops 17 degrees, that means the temp is going negative.
so -2-17 is -19. that was that night
now wednesday the temp rose 11
so you add 11 to -17
so you have -6
as the day's high on Wednesday
