Question

one morning the temperature was-5°F.by noon it had increased by 12 degrees. what was the temperature at noon? explain your answer.

Answer 1

`7^(\circ)F`

Explanation:

We are given that one morning the temperature was
`5^(\circ)F`

By noon it had increased by 12 degrees.

We have to find the temperature at noon and explain.

Temperature at morning=-5 degrees Fahrenheit

Temperature increased by =12 degrees

Therefore, the temperature at noon=12+(-5)=7 degrees Fahrenheit

Because temperature is increased by 12 degree therefore, 12 added to -5 degrees Fahrenheit to find the value of temperature at noon.

Sign of larger number is positive therefore, the sign of sum will be positive.

Hence, the temperature at noon=
`7^(\circ)F`

Answer 2

`\huge{\boxed{7^(\circ)F}}`

Let's write this as an equation.
`-5+12=x`

In this case,
`x` represents the temperature at noon.

To solve this, we simply need to add
`-5+12`. We can also rearrange the terms to make a simpler equation.
`12-5=x`

All we need to do is find
`12-5`.
`\boxed{7=x}`
