WILL FAN AND MEDAL

Given that the variable t represents the temperature at 3 p.m., which equation would best model the word problem below?
The temperature at the summit of Mt Mitchell dropped 23°F between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. If the temperature at 9 p.m. was -10°F, what was the temperature at 3 p.m.?

(Points : 1)
t - 23 = -10
10 – 23 = t
10 + 23 = t
23 - t = -10

Answer 1

The first option.

Answer 2

t -23 = -10 is the answer.
