The temperature was very cold then it dropped 10 degrees and then it increased 40 degrees the temperature is now 16 degrees. What is the starting temperature?

-14 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the starting temperature if we know what the temperature is now and the kind of temperature change that has happened.

Now, since we do not know the initial temperature , let’s call it x

from the question, it dropped by 10 and increased by 40 and finally with a temperature of 16.

mathematically

x-10+40= 16

x+30 = 16

x = 16-30

x = -14

step-by-step explanation:

if x = 2 you have to find x to finish the problem

step-by-step explanation:

i think you should think about the question and not look online.
