Question

inside kasis house, the temperature was \\(20^\circ\text{c}\\). she stepped outside, where the temperature was \\(22^\circ\text{c}\\) cooler. which expression represents the temperature outside?

Explanation:

Identify the starting temperature

The temperature inside Kasi's house is given as \(20^\circ\text{C}\). This is our starting value.

Translate the change in temperature

The problem states that the temperature outside is \(22^\circ\text{C}\) cooler. The word "cooler" indicates a decrease in temperature, which is represented mathematically by subtraction.

Write the expression

To find the temperature outside, we subtract the decrease from the starting temperature:

$$20 - 22$$

Answer:

Inside Kasi's house, the temperature was \(20^\circ\text{C}\). She stepped outside, where the temperature was \(22^\circ\text{C}\) cooler. Which expression represents the temperature outside?
