10°F. The difference
One day in January, the high temperature was 2°F. The low temperature was
in the temperatures in degrees is given by the expression - 2 - (-10). What was the difference in
the temperatures?

Answer 1

The difference in temperatures is 6

The given expression to find the difference in temperatures is -2 - (-10).

To simplify this expression, we need to remember that subtracting a negative is the same as adding the positive.

So, we change -(-10) to +10.

Now we have -2 + 10.

Therefore, The low temperature is 8.

Since, the high temperature is 2°F

So, we subtract 2 from 8

8-2=6

Therefore, the difference in temperatures is 6.
