    At the end of the day, the temperature is -16°C. During the day it dropped 12°C. What was the temperature in the morning? Write an equation to represent, then solve and verify your answer

    let the starting temperature be s. If the temperature dropped, that means we subtract, so we have the following equation:
    s - 12 = -16

    To solve this equation, we type it in our search engine and we get:
    s = -4
