The low temperature in Leroy’s town one day was -4 Fahrenheit . The difference between the high temperature and the low temperat
ure that day was 6 Fahrenheit The equation h(-4)=6 can be used to find h, the high temperature in the town that day in degrees Fahrenheit. What was the high temperature in the town that day, in degrees Fahrenheit?
-4 + 6 = 2, so the high that day was 2 degrees. Since we're finding the high, and -4 is the low, it would not make sense for us to subtract 6 from -4, which would result in an even lower number. Thus, we add to find out the high.
