The temperature last evening was 15°Fahrenheit. It dropped 33° last night (-33). By noon today, it has warmed up only 5°. Add positive & negative numbers to tell what the temperature was at noon today?​

Answer:

-13°

Explanation:

Start at 15°

Subtract 33° -----> 15-33= -18°

It has warmed up by 5° (+5) -----> -18+5= -13°
