Yesterday the temperature at noon was 11.4°F. By Midnight, the temperature had decreased by 15.7 degrees. What was the temperature at midnight?

Respuesta :

11.4°F - 15.7°F
-4.3°F

At midnight, the temperature is -4.3°F.

Answer: [tex]4.3^{\circ}F[/tex]


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Yesterday the temperature at noon = [tex]11.4^{\circ}F[/tex]

If by the midnight, the decrease in the temperature = [tex]15.7^{\circ}F[/tex]

Now, let x be the temperature at midnight.

Then according to the question,

[tex]x=11.4^{\circ}F-15.7^{\circ}F\\\Rightarrow\ x=(11.4-15.7)^{\circ}F\\\Rightarrow\ x=4.3^{\circ}F[/tex]

hence, the temperature at midnight= [tex]4.3^{\circ}F[/tex]
