Answer:

The temperature at 7 PM is:


24^(\circ)F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

At noon the temperature was 37°F.


T_n=37^(\circ)F

At 7 AM the temperature was 17°F colder;


\begin{gathered} T_(AM)=(T_n-17)^{\circ^{}} \\ T_(AM)=(37-17)^(\circ) \\ T_(AM)=20^(\circ)F \end{gathered}

The temperature at 7PM was 4 Degrees Fahrenheit warmer than at 7 AM;


\begin{gathered} T_(PM)=T_(AM)+4 \\ T_(PM)=(20_{}+4)^(\circ)F \\ T_(PM)=24^(\circ)F \end{gathered}

The temperature at 7 PM is;


24^(\circ)F
