EXAMPLE Solving an Application Involving Subtraction

The record-high temperature in the United States is 134°F, recorded at Death Valley, California, in 1913. The record low is −80°F, at Prospect Creek, Alaska, in 1971. See FIGURE 14. What is the difference between these highest and lowest temperatures? (Source: National Climatic Data Center.)

We must subtract the lowest temperature from the highest temperature.

FIGURE 14

On January 23, 1943, the temperature rose 49°F in two minutes in Spearfish, South Dakota. If the starting temperature was −4°F, what was the temperature two minutes later?
