To find the high temperature 6 days later, we need to calculate the temperature change over those 6 days.
The initial temperature on the first day is 4°F. Each day the temperature decreases by 3°F. Therefore, after 6 days, the total decrease in temperature is:
\[
6 \text{ days} \times -3°F \text{ per day} = -18°F
\]
Now we subtract this total change from the initial temperature:
\[
4°F + (-18°F) = 4°F - 18°F = -14°F
\]
So, the high temperature 6 days later is \(-14°F\).
Thus, the answer is:
\(-14oF\)
The initial temperature on the first day is 4°F. Each day the temperature decreases by 3°F. Therefore, after 6 days, the total decrease in temperature is:

\]
Now we subtract this total change from the initial temperature:
\[
4°F + (-18°F) = 4°F - 18°F = -14°F
\]
So, the high temperature 6 days later is \(-14°F\).
Thus, the answer is:
\(-14oF\)
