Answer

The initial temperature was T = -7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial temperature be T.

- The tempature was very cold

Temperarure = T

- Then it doubled

Temperature = 2T

- Then it dropped 10 degrees

Temperature = 2T - 10

- And then it increased by 40 degrees.

Temperature = 2T - 10 + 40 = 2T + 30

The tempature is now 16 degrees

Temperature = 16 degrees

2T + 30 = 16

2T = -14

T = -7 degrees

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

The starting temperature was -7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the inicial temperature by 'X'.

First the temperature doubled, so now it is 2X.

Then, it dropped 10 degrees, so now it is 2X - 10

Then, it increased by 40 degrees, so now it is 2X - 10 + 40 = 2X + 30

Now, the temperature is 16 degrees, so we have that:

2X + 30 = 16

2X = 16 - 30

2X = -14

X = -7

The starting temperature was -7 degrees
