Answer:

a. 4 + (-7)

b. (-3)

c. (-6) + (-2)

d. - 8

Explanation:

- Lets explain how to solve the problem

- There are some words we can change them to mathematics symbols

as drop means (-) rise means (+)

- In Knoxville, the temperature rises 4° from 4 P.M. to 5 P.M.

∴ The temperature add by 4

- Then the temperature drops 7º from 5 P.M. to 6 P.M.

∴ The temperature add by - 7

- The temperature in Knoxville add by 4 and added by -7

a.

The expression represents the change in temperature for

Knoxville is ⇒ 4 + (-7)

b.

∵ 4 + (-7) = 4 - 7 = -3

The integer represents the change in temperature for Knoxville

is -3

- In Cleveland, the temperature drops 6º from 4 P.M. to 5 P.M.

∴ The temperature add by -6

- Then the temperature drops 2 from 5 P.M. to 6 P.M.

∴ The temperature add by -2

- The temperature in Cleveland added by - 6 and by -2

c.

The expression represents the change in temperature for

Cleveland is ⇒ (-6) + (-2)

d.

∵ (-6) + (-2) = -6 - 2 = -8

The integer represents the change in temperature for Cleveland

is -8
