A meteorologist was monitoring the temperature outside in degrees Fahrenheit and wrote the expression 88+(-10)-7. Which statement best describes this expression?

The temperature started at 88 degrees and increased by 10 degrees. Then the temperature decreased by 7 degrees.

The temperature started at 88 degrees and increased by 10 degrees. Then the temperature increased by 7 degrees.

The temperature started at 88 degrees and decreased by 10 degrees. Then the temperature decreased by 7 degrees.

The temperature started at 88 degrees and decreased by 10 degrees. Then the temperature increased by 7 degrees.

The temperature started at 88 degrees and decreased by 10 degrees. Then the temperature decreased by 7 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The expression

We need to find the statement which best describe the expression:

Solution:

From the given expression we see that;

The Temperature started in the beginning at 88 degrees.

Later on the temperature was increase by -10 so we will add -10 from given temperature and we can say that the temperature was decreased by 10 degrees.

Later the we have again a minus sign which indicates that the temperature was decrease by 7 degrees .

Hence we can say that;

The statement "The temperature started at 88 degrees and decreased by 10 degrees. Then the temperature decreased by 7 degrees. " describes the expression as best.

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
