the variable t represents the temerature 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. the temp at 11 p.m was -11*f
t-17=-11
11-17=t
17-t=-11
17+11=t

Hiii!!! again!
OpenStudy (defiance):
t = temp at 4 PM
OpenStudy (defiance):
If it as dropped 17F from 4 - 11pm
OpenStudy (defiance):
If we're at -11 F at 11PM
OpenStudy (defiance):
Then add 17 to -11.

OpenStudy (princeevee):
but which is the right equation?
OpenStudy (defiance):
Okay.
OpenStudy (defiance):
The numbers are listed. With the acception of "t"
Which we have found is 6.
D. Makes no sense 17 + 11 = 28. So, incorrect
11 - 17 = -6. Therefore, incorrect.
OpenStudy (defiance):
t - 17 = -11 is correct, BUT. Pretend we don't now what T is. So that wouldn't help us solve it.
OpenStudy (defiance):
Oops

Sorry.
OpenStudy (defiance):
A is correct. I was thinking about C but i didnt read it right.
OpenStudy (defiance):
C. 17 - 6 = -11. No. Cause thats not true.
Leaves you with A
OpenStudy (princeevee):
so a is the correct answer?
OpenStudy (defiance):
Your answer is A, cause it's the only one that is correct.
