Question

In 2 hours the temperature dropped 6 degrees the final temperature was -4 degrees Fahrenheit what was the original temperature

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

The temperature was originally 2 degrees because if you draw a number line and put a 0 in the middle of the positive numbers and the negative numbers ( - 8 - 7 - 6 -5 - 4 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8) - example. Put the positive and negative numbers on different sides of the 0 and go left from the positive numbers from 2 and count 6 skips down to - 4. So 2 would be your answer.
