The temp at the summit of Mt. Mansfield dropped 17 degrees F between 4 pm and 11 pm. If the temp at 11 pm was -11 degrees F, what was the temp at 4 pm?

Please show work! Thanks so much!

We know that the temperature at 11 pm was -11 degrees, and that it was 17 degrees warmer at 4 pm. So, the expression we will solve is -11+17, which is equal to 6. At 4 pm, the temperature at the summit of Mount Mansfield was 6 degrees F.
