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:

\[ \text{Difference} = 72° + 15° \]
