Answer 1

When Neta gets to school the temperature is 5.7F. After that, it says that the temperature changes by -9.5F. When it says "-9.5", the negative sign stands for the temperature lowering, which means that from 5.7F, the temperature is lowering by 9.5F. So now we need to do 5.7F minus 9.5, which if you subtract is -3.8.
So in all, the answer would be -3.8F.
