Question

The coldest temperature ever recorded in New York City was -15F on February 9, 1934. The next day, the temperature rose 42F. Write an expression for the temperature on February 10.

Answer 1

Answer:

An expression for the temperature on February 10  =  -15F +42F = 27F

Step-by-step explanation:

the problem given is based on the algebra of simple addition : -

Addition of Algebraic Expressions : -

In addition of algebraic expressions while adding algebraic expressions we collect the like terms and add them. The sum of several like terms is the like term whose coefficient is the sum of the coefficients of these like terms.

Two ways to solve addition of algebraic expressions.

Horizontal Method: In this method, all expressions are written in a horizontal line and then the terms are arranged to collect all the groups of like terms and then added.

Column Method: In this method each expression is written in a separate row such that there like terms are arranged one below the other in a column. Then the addition of terms is done column wise.

so the question can be solved using Horizontal method :-

temperature on 9 Feb = -15F

temperature rose on 10th Feb = 42F

so the temperature on 10th Feb is :

-15F +42F = 27F

therefore, an expression for the temperature on February 10 is

-15F +42F = 27F (answer)
