The temperature at 9 AM was 13°F, If the temperature is -2°F at 6 AM and the next three hours the temperature increases 15°F.

Explanation:

The given is,

Temperature is -2°F at 6 AM

For the next three hours from 6 AM the temperature increases 15°F

Step:1

We need to find the temperature at 9 AM,

Let, X - Temperature at 6 AM

Y - Temperature at 9 AM

Step:2

Where,

X = -2°F

From the given, Y becomes

( during the next three hours the temperature increases 15°F )

Y = X + 15

Substitute the X value,

= (-2 + 15)

Y = 13°F

Result:

Thus the temperature at 9 AM was 13°F, If the temperature is -2°F at 6 AM and the next three hours the temperature increases 15°F.
