Each just has different amounts of 0s
The temperature was -14°F at 8 a.m.
At noon is was 10 degrees warmer - the temperature increase was 10°F
-14°F + 10°F = -4°F
The tempertaure increase between noon and 4 p.m. was twice the previous increase in temperature, which was 10°F.
10°F x 2 = 20°F
We want to know the temperature at 4 p.m. so we just add it up to the previous result.
-4°F + 20°F = 16°F
16°F is the correct answer

Answer: -5 < x < 2</h3>
Explanation:
The expression -2x means -2 times x. To undo this, we divide all parts of the inequality by -2. Dividing by a negative number will flip the inequality sign. We go from "less than" to "greater than"
-4 < -2x < 10
-4/(-2) > x > 10/(-2) .... inequality signs flip
2 > x > -5
-5 < x < 2
This unknown number x is between -5 and 2. It cannot equal -5. It cannot equal 2.
Answer: 29 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Caroline bakes cookies in batches of 24 and that she bakes 3 batches of cookies per week. The amount of cookies baked per week will then be:
= 24 × 3
= 72 cookies
The number of weeks that would take her to bake 2,088 cookies will be:
= 2088 / 72
= 29 weeks
