Given that the variable t represents the temperature at 4 p.m., which equation would best model the word problem below?
The temperature at the summit of Mt. Mansfield dropped 17°F between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. If the temperature at 11 p.m. was –11°F, what was the temperature at 4 p.m.?

(Points : 1)
17 + 11 = t
11 – 17 = t
17 – t = –11
t – 17 = –11
