2 answers:
Answer:
x: starting temperature
dropped 10
increase :40
total 16
x-10+40=16
x=-14
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: the starting temperature is - 7 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the starting temperature.
Then the temperature doubled. It means that it became 2x degrees
Then the temperature dropped by 10 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 degrees.
Then the temperature increased by 40 degrees. It means that it became 2x - 10 + 40 = 2x + 30 degrees.
If the temperature is now 16 degrees, it means that
2x + 30 = 16
2x = 16 - 30
2x = - 14
x = - 14/2
x = - 7 degrees
