Question

The temperature outside dropped 13F in 7 hours. The final temperature was -2F. What was the starting temperature?

Answer 1

Alright, lets get started.

The temperature outside dropped 13 F.

Suppose the starting temperature = x

The final temperature is given a s= -2 F

Final temp = starting temp - drop in temp

`-2 = x - 13`

Adding 13 in both sides

`-2 + 13 = x - 13 + 13`

`x = 11`

It means the starting temperature was 11 F. : Answer

Hope it will help :)

Answer 2

starting temperature is ,

= -2°F - 13°F = 15°F
