Which equation will solve the problem below?

Question

Toronto has a current temperature of -15°, while San Diego has a current temperature of 72°. What is the difference in temperature between Toronto and San Diego?

Answer 1

To find the difference in temperature between Toronto and San Diego, you can use the following equation:

$$\text{Difference}=\text{Temperature in San Diego}-\text{Temperature in Toronto}$$

Plugging in the values:

$$\text{Difference}=72°-(-15°)$$

Since subtracting a negative number is the same as adding, this simplifies to:

$$\text{Difference}=72°+15°$$

So, the final equation to find the temperature difference is:

$$\text{Difference}=72°+15°$$
