Question

Between 7 am and 11 am the temperature in Antartica increased by 8.4 C. If the temperature at 11 am was -28.3 degrees, what was the temperature at 7 am?

Answer 1

the temperature at 7 am was -36.7 degrees.

Explanation:

Let's denote the temperature at 7 am by "x". Since the temperature increased by 8.4 C between 7 am and 11 am, we can set up the equation:

x + 8.4 = -28.3

Subtracting 8.4 from both sides, we get:

x = -36.7

Therefore, the temperature at 7 am was -36.7 degrees.
