Question

The temperature at the top of a mountain is 10.8°C less than the temperature at the base of

the mountain. If the temperature at the base is -4.45°C, what is the temperature at the top?

Answer 1

Answer: -15.25°C

Step-by-step explanation: Let x be the temperature at the top of the mountain.

According to the problem, we know that:

x = -4.45°C - 10.8°C

Simplifying the right side:

x = -15.25°C

Therefore, the temperature at the top of the mountain is -15.25°C.
