Question

The temperature at 6:00 P.M. was 3°C. At midnight, the temperature was -2°C.

Answer 1

Answer:

-5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, since the final temperature was the temperature that existed at midnight then that value is subtracted from the initial temperature which was at 6:00 PM. Therefore we do the following calculation...

(-2) - 3 = x

-5 = x

Finally, we can see that there was a change in temperature of -5 degrees between 6:00 P.M. and Midnight. Meaning that the temperature during this time dropped a total of 5 degrees. Since, real numbers include negatives then the answer to this question is -5 degrees
