If it is 5 degrees outside, and the temperature will drop 12

degrees in the next six hours, what will the temperature be in six

hours?

-7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Dropping 12 degrees means that it will get colder by 12 degrees. The colder it gets, the lower the temperature. 5 degrees - the current temperature, is going to be dropped by 12 degrees. To calculate this: 5-12 = - 7 (degrees)
