When ever you are finding the difference between to numbers you substract. The word for the result of a subtraction is difference

its like subtracting interger and adding interger and ok :D

Answer 9

In this case there's a negative number so you have to be careful of your signs

Answer 10

If it's referring to the same city, Just add 92 to 5. 97 degrees in this case.

Answer 11

don't just add 92 to 5. Subtract (-5) from 92.
It works out to the same thing but the thought process must be consistent

So its 92 - -5 and it equals 97?
