B) 5°F above

C) 12°F below

D) 12°F above

Answer 1

1.) C

2.) C

3.) A

5.) B

Step by-step explanation:

1.) because 14 is positive and the opposite of 12 is -12. So 14+-12=2!

2.) to get to 7 from -7 you would have to take 7 units to get there.

3.)Given that a football player caught the ball and made a gain of 8 yards on the first play. On the next play the team lost 12 yards.we are to find the number of yards needed to gain on the next play to get back to their original position.Let, x be the number of yards that the team had originally.On the next play, the team lost 12 yards, let 'k' be the number of yards needed to gain on the next play to get back to their original position.Thus, the number of yards needed to gain on the next play to get back to their original position is 4.

5.) We have been given that on Monday morning the temperature was 38°F, but by the afternoon the temperature had risen 22°F. We are also told that on Tuesday morning the temperature had dropped 27°F since Monday afternoon.Since the temperature rose by the Tuesday noon, so temperature by Tuesday noon will be 10 degrees greater than temperature by Tuesday morning.To find the number of degrees temperature is above or below 38°F on Tuesday at noon we will subtract 38°F from the temperature on Tuesday at noon. Since the difference between temperature is positive, therefore, the temperature on Tuesday at noon was 5 above .
