Question

Between the time Iko woke up and lunchtime, the temperature rose by 11°. Then by the time he went to bed, the temperature dropped by 14°.

Write an addition expression for the temperature relative to when Iko woke up.

Answer 1

Answer: -3 degrees

Explanation:

Lets say that the original temperature was "x."

The temperature rose by 11 degrees so it is now at 11+x.

Then the temperature fell by 14 degrees so you subtract. 11+x-14

11-14= -3 so you subtract 3 degrees from the original temperature and there fore the relative temperature is -3

I hope this helps!!!
