Explanation:

Sunday's high temperature is 5 degrees warmer than Tuesday's high temperature.

To determine this, let's break down the information given step by step:

1. Monday's high temperature was 5 degrees warmer than Sunday's high temperature.

2. Tuesday's high temperature was 8 degrees colder than Monday's high temperature.

Since Monday was warmer than Sunday, we can assume that Sunday's high temperature was lower than Monday's high temperature. And since Tuesday was colder than Monday, we can assume that Tuesday's high temperature was lower than Monday's high temperature as well.

So, if we start with Monday's high temperature and subtract the 8 degrees colder on Tuesday, we find that Tuesday's high temperature is 8 degrees lower than Monday's high temperature.

Now, if we go back to the first piece of information, we know that Monday's high temperature was 5 degrees warmer than Sunday's high temperature. So, if we subtract the 5 degrees from Monday's high temperature, we find that Sunday's high temperature is 5 degrees lower than Monday's high temperature.

Therefore, we can conclude that Sunday's high temperature is 5 degrees warmer than Tuesday's high temperature
