Explanation:

1. The hidden question is "What was the high temperature four days earlier?"

2. To find the high temperature four days earlier, we need to subtract 14.2 from the record high temperature of 39°C:

39 - 14.2 = 24.8°C

3. The main question is "How much higher was the record temperature than the high temperature four days earlier?"

4. To find the difference between the record temperature and the high temperature four days earlier, we need to subtract 24.8 from 39:

39 - 24.8 = 14.2°C

So, the record temperature was 14.2°C higher than the high temperature four days earlier.
