At 7:00 am, the temperature was -4℉. At 9:00 am, it was 8° warmer. What was the temperature at 9:00 am? *

4℉.

What we know about Degrees is that there is a Positive type and a negative type.

(i.e: 30℉ is positive and -30℉ is negative.)

If the temperature was -4℉ at 7AM, then it is negative. If it goes up by an amount that is more than 4 then that negative will go up to a positive temperature. In this case: At 9AM it was 8° warmer.

Warmer is a keyword. If it is warmer by an amount, Negative temperatures will go up to a positive and positive temperature will just go up. If it gets cooler, negative temperatures will go down further and positive temperatures will go down to a negative.

So lets work out this problem with our newfound knowledge.

-4° F at 7AM

8°  warmer at 9AM

-4 + 8 = 4.

The temperature was 4°  at 9AM.

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
