Question

The coldest temperature ever recorded in New York City was -15F on Feb 9, 1934. The next day, the temperature rose

Write an expression for the temperature on Feb 10

Answer 1

`\boxed{x=-15+y}`

Explanation:

Let the temperature on Feb 10, 1934 be x.

Let the temperature increase be y.

On Feb 9, the temperature was -15F.

On Feb 10, the temperature increased.

`x=-15+y`

Answer 2

x = -15 + y

Explanation:

Let next days temperature be x and the temperature rise be y

=> x = -15 + y

The next day's temperature will be more since it "rose".
