Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

-169 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

It doesn't make much sense... but let's answer the question anyway.

First task is to determine what's the temperature outside at 2:30 PM.

We know that it's 11 degrees cooler than it was at 7 AM, so -4 - 11 = -15 degrees.

Abram's house is 4 degrees less than 11 times the outside temperature, so we can express that as:

House = 11 x - 4    - where x is the temperature outside.

If we replace the numbers we get: 11 * (-15) - 4 = -165 - 4 = -169 degrees

Abram's house is an extremely cold freezer!
