Answer 1

Answer:

The temperature in the morning was $-10.5^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1) The high temperature in Fairbanks, Alaska was 15.7 degrees

That night it fell 38.4 degrees

so

The temperature at night was

$15.7^o-38.4^o=-22.7^o$

2) The next morning, it rose 12.2 degrees.

so

The temperature in the morning was

$-22.7^o+12.2=-10.5^o$
