Question

the temperature in your town is 31 degrees Fahrenheit the radio announcer says that the temperature will drop 15 degrees what will the temperature be right in equation to show how you found your answer

Answer 1

Given data:

The initial value of the temperature is T= 31 degrees Fahrenheit.

The temperature drop is T'= 15 degrees .

The expression for the final value of the temperature is,

$T_f=T-T^{\prime}$

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

$\begin{gathered} T_f=31^{\circ}F-15^{\circ}F \\ =16^{\circ}F \end{gathered}$

Thus, the final temperature is 16 degrees Fahrenheit.
