The temperture outside dropped 13 degrees in 7 hours the final temperture was -2 degrees what was the starting temperture?

alright so this sounds like a trick question. If there was a decrease in 13 degrees over a certain period of time (7 hours) which resulted in a final temperature of -2. 13+(-2)= 11

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
