Question

The maximum temperature on the planet Mercury is 950°F. The minimum temperature is —346°F. What is the difference, in degrees Fahrenheit, between the maximum and minimum temperatures on Mercury?

Answer 1

1296 is the answer

Explanation:

It is positive because when you add you change the negative number from - 346 F to 346 F so it would be equal to 1296.

Answer 2

The difference is 950 - (-346). The double negative turns into a positive, so it's basically 950 + 346 = 1296 degrees.
