The temperature after 7 hours is -2° F

Step-by-step explanation

At 3 p.m the temperature was 12° F

Then , the temperature began to drop 2° F every hour.

So, the total temperature dropped in 7 hours will be:
(2*7)=14° F

Now, for finding the temperature after 7 hours, we need to subtract the "temperature dropped" from the "initial temperature".

Thus, the temperature after 7 hours
=12-14= -2° F
