Question

Eugene noticed the temperature had dropped by 8 degrees from 17. What was the new temperature?

Answer 1

9 degrees

Explanation:

given:

Initial temperature : 17 degrees

temperature change = reduction by 8 degrees (i.e - 8 degrees)

hence the final temperature

= initial temperature + temperature change

= 17 + (-8)

= 17 - 8

= 9 degrees
