Answer:

25 degrees

Explanation:

Hello!

If the temperature drops from -10 to 15 degrees, you have to find the absolute value of the difference.

This means:

  • -10 + x = 15
  • -10 - 15 = x
  • -25 = x

Since we are finding the absolute value of -25, we get 25.

Another way to think about it is to subtract the numbers in the other way:

  • 15 - (-10) = x
  • 15 + 10 = x
  • 25 = x

The difference in the temperatures is 25 degrees.
