Question

Tuesdays high temperature was 12 degrees cooler than Mondays and 7 degrees cooler than Wednesdays. If Wednesdays high temperature was 59 degrees, then what was Mondays high?

Answer 1

54 degree was Monday high temperature

Explanation:

As per the given statement:

Wednesday high temperature =
`59^(\circ)`

It is also given that Tuesdays high temperature was 12 degrees cooler than Mondays and 7 degrees cooler than Wednesdays.

Tuesday temperature = 12 degree + Monday Temperature

and

Tuesday temperature = 7 degree + Wednesday temperature.

Then, by substituting the given values;

⇒Tuesday temperature = 7 degree + 59 degree = 66 degree.

To find the Monday high temperature.

Monday high temperature = Tuesday temperature - 12 degree

= 66 - 12= 54 degree.

Therefore, 54 degree was Monday high temperature
