Question

The current temperature is -7°C. The high temperature yesterday was as many degrees above 0°C as the current temperature is below 0°C. Which expression could be used to find the number of degrees between the current temperature and yesterday‘s high temperature

Answer 1

Answer:

$Number \ of \ degrees=7-(-7)=14^{\textdegree}C$

Step-by-step explanation:

Current temperature is $7^{\textdegree}C$ below $0^{\textdegree}C$.

So yesterday hight temperature will be $7^{\textdegree}$ above $0^{\textdegree}$.

Yesterday high temperature =$0+7=7^{\textdegree}C$

Number of degrees between current and yesterday high temperature$=7-(-7)=14^{\textdegree}C$
