A mountain climber ascends on a trail that starts at an elevation of 8,500 feet and ends at an elevation of 17,750 feet. The temperature changes by -4.8°F every 1,000 feet gained in elevation. What is the change in temperature from the start to the end of the trail. Show your work

-44.4°F

Step-by-step explanation:

17,750-8500=9,250

9250/1000=9.25

9.25x-4.8=-44.4

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.
