This question boils down to

A fractions structure is that of:
count
size indicator of what you are counting
→
numerator
denominator
You can not directly add or subtract the counts (numerators) unless the size indicators (denominators) are the same.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
3
2
3
Write as
3
+
2
3
Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes in many forms so you can change the way something looks without changing its true value
[

Putting it all together

But the size indicators are not the same. I chose to make them become 12

Now we may subtract the counts
→

=

But this is the same as

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- 22°F
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Morning temperature = 15°F
Change in temperature = fall by 37 degree
The temperature of the end of the day:
Morning temperature + (change in temperature)
Fall by 37° = decrease in temperature by 37° = - 37°
15°F + (-37°F)
15°F - 37°F
= - 22°F
He should set up the refreshment stand on the incenter of the obtuse triangle. The incenter of a triangle is described as the intersection between the angle bisectors of a triangle. The inradius are the line segments from the incenter of the triangle to each of the three sides of the triangle which are all equal. The inradius is depicted as the radius of an inscribed circle in the triangle. Therefore, the shortest equal distance from his stand to each road is C. on the incenter.
