Answer:

The difference between the high and low temperatures is 29°F

Explanation:

Subtraction

The high temperature in Denver, Colorado was 25°F on Monday.

The low temperature was -4°F in the same place.

We are required to find the difference between the high and low temperatures.

We need to subtract 25 and -4:

Difference = 25°F - (-4°F)

Note we change the sign of the subtraction multiplying (-1) by (-1);

Difference = 25°F + 4°F

Difference = 29°F

The difference between the high and low temperatures is 29°F
