In City A, the temperature rises 4(degrees)F from 8 A.M. To 9 A.M. Then the temperature drops 7F from 9 A.M. To 10 A.M. In City B, the temperature drops 6F from 8 A.M. To 9 A.M. Then the temperature drops 2F from 9 A.M. To 10 A.M. Write an expression that represents the change in temperature from 8 A.M. To 10 A.M. For each city. Simplify and interpret each sum. Use pencil and paper. Which city has the greater change in temperature?

Answer:

City A:

[tex]A - 3[/tex]

City B:

[tex]B - 8[/tex]

City B has a greater change in temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

City A:

Let the initial temperature of city A at 8 AM = [tex]A\ ^\circ F[/tex]

Temperature change from 8 AM to 9 AM: 4[tex]^\circ F[/tex] rise

Temperature at 9 AM = [tex](A+4)\ ^\circ F[/tex]

Temperature change from 9 AM to 10 AM: 7[tex]^\circ F[/tex] drop

Temperature at 9 AM = [tex](A+4 -7 )\ ^\circ F = (A-3)\ ^\circ F[/tex]

Total change in temperature = [tex](A - 3) - A = 3\ ^\circ F[/tex] drop

City B:

Let the initial temperature of city B at 8 AM = [tex]B\ ^\circ F[/tex]

Temperature change from 8 AM to 9 AM: 6[tex]^\circ F[/tex] drop

Temperature at 9 AM = [tex](B-6)\ ^\circ F[/tex]

Temperature change from 9 AM to 10 AM: 2[tex]^\circ F[/tex] drop

Temperature at 9 AM = [tex](B-6 -2 )\ ^\circ F = (B-8)\ ^\circ F[/tex]

Total change in temperature = [tex](B - 8) -B = 8\ ^\circ F[/tex] drop

Therefore, the answer is:

City B has a greater change in temperature.
