The temperature in Fairbanks was [tex]-34^{\circ}[/tex] Fahrenheit. Phoenix was [tex]100^{\circ}[/tex] Fahrenheit warmer than Fairbanks. How many degrees Fahrenheit was the temperature in Phoenix?

Answer :

To find the temperature in Phoenix, we start with the information given:

1. The temperature in Fairbanks is [tex]\(-34^{\circ}\)[/tex] Fahrenheit.
2. Phoenix is [tex]\(100^{\circ}\)[/tex] Fahrenheit warmer than Fairbanks.

To calculate the temperature in Phoenix, we simply add the temperature increase to the temperature in Fairbanks:

[tex]\[
\text{Temperature in Phoenix} = \text{Temperature in Fairbanks} + \text{Temperature increase}
\][/tex]

Substituting the given values:

[tex]\[
\text{Temperature in Phoenix} = -34 + 100
\][/tex]

Perform the addition:

[tex]\[
-34 + 100 = 66
\][/tex]

So, the temperature in Phoenix is [tex]\(66^{\circ}\)[/tex] Fahrenheit.
