Question

The temperature in frostburg is -7.This is 18 less than the temperature in coldspot.Find the temperature of coldspot

Answer 1

If the temperature in frostburg is 18 less than the temperature in coldspot, then the following equation compares the two temperatures:

`f = c-18`

where
`f,c` are the temperatures in frostburg and coldspot. Since we're given
`f`, we can solve for
`c`:

`-7 = c-18 \iff c = -7+18 = 11`
