Question

The temperature at 8:00 A.M. was −6 degrees F and the temperature at 3:00 P.M. was 11 degrees F. The equation −6 + c = 11 can be used to find c, the change in temperature. Use the Inverse Property of Addition to solve the equation. Show your work.

Answer 1

c = 17

Explanation:

Add 6 to both sides, obtaining c = 6+ 11 = 17. So, c = 17.
