Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:-7.5 - (8.5 + 5)Step-by-step explanation:We just add together the values of how much it dropped at different parts of the day, and subtract them from what we started with. The parenthesis are important cause we want to know what the total temperature drop for the day was before we subtract it to get the actual temperature we end up with.
