Answers

  1. he correct statement is:
    “The temperature started at 78 degrees and decreased by 6 degrees, then decreased by 5 degrees.”

    Which statement best describes this expression?

    Here we have the expression:
    78+(-6)-5
    So we start at 78, then we subtract 6, and then we subtract 5.
    This means that the initial temperature is 78, then it decreases by 6 degrees, and then it decreases again by 5 degrees.
    Then the correct statement is:
    “The temperature started at 78 degrees and decreased by 6 degrees, then decreased by 5 degrees.”
    Which is the third statement counting from the top.
