Answer:

The temperature in the city will be T= -1 degree Celsius

Explanation:

This can be easily assessed using equations:

The weatherman says that the temperature in the countryside will be TCountry=-3C

And in the city will be 2 C warmer thus,


TCity=TCountry+2

So using simple maths wecan say that


TCity=-3C+2C=-1C

So the temperature in the city will be minus 1 degree celsius
