Answer 2

you can make an equation for this. The temperature is unknown so we'll put it as x. This happened 3 times so you have x+x+x=-15, which would also be -3x=15. Do you understand what I mean?

Answer 3

yes so what would the answer be? @BloomLocke367

Answer 4

Well, solve for x. We aren't certain that they are all the same, but we will find the average by doing it this way. Do you know how to solve for x?
