Sheila took the temperature in her bedroom at 9:00 p.m. before she went to bed. Overnight, the temperature dropped 9°F but then increased 11°F by morning. During the day, the temperature raised another 8°F. Which integer represents the total change in temperature? -28°F -12°F +10°F +28°F
Ok so let's do a bit of addition and subtraction k: so first: -9 +11 +8 so -9 + 11 = ?
\[-9 + 11 =\]
That is your first question.
well 9 + 11 = 20
Yes but remember the 9 is negative so if we reorder it like so 11 - 9 =
oh ok then it would be 2
Yes because -9 + 11 = 2 :D so now do this: \[2 + 8 = ?\]
it would be 10
YES so it is 10F :D
ohh ok thanx you
No prob, I see you got the medals down pat :D fast learner
:D
can u hlp me with one last question?
Yes just post it here for the sake of time :)
ok
A truck driver drives 10 miles west from company headquarters when he realizes he forgot to make one of the stops on his route. He drives 7 miles east on the same road to go back and make the stop. Which expression can be used to find how far the truck driver is from company headquarters? +10 + -7 -7 + -10 +10 + +7 -7 - +10
Ok so he went out 10 miles ut hewent back seven so we need to subtract 7 from ten, which equation would thta be?
it would be 3
Um not quite, 13 would be 10 + 7 you need 10 - 7
oh ok
Remember what I said about changing out the signs for words(minues) (negative)
ok
ok I its 17 right
Oh you mean the product, I am talking about which equation lol
lol
But you were right it was 3 so which equation is that?
its +10 + +7 right
no that would equal 17, it has to equal 3 like you said before
oh sorry I forgot about that
xD its fine :)
lol its the last one
:)
close but its actually the first one, you just mixed up the numbers :)
oh ok thank you a lot you helped me out big time lol :)
No prob thtas what this site is all about, if you ever need help adjusting just PM me :)
ok :) thanx
