Answer: The difference is 129°

Explanation:

Here the one temperature = -57°

While the other temperature = 72°

Hence, the difference between these temperatures

= higher temperature - Lower temperature

=
72^(\circ) - (-57^(\circ))

=
72^(\circ) + 57^(\circ)

=
129^(\circ)

Hence, the required difference is 129° F.
