Question 3 options not given.

4) Let the highest Antarctica’s highest recorded temperature be T.

Given: Antarctica’s average winter temperature was - 34.44 degrees celsius. The difference between this temperature and Antarctica’s highest recorded temperature was 49.44 degrees.

Or , T-(-34.44) =49.44.

Two negatives make a positive,

T+34.44 =49.44

Subtracting 34.44 both sides:

T= 49.44-34.44

T= 15

The highest temperature recorded was 15 degrees.
