If it is 5° outside and the temperature will drop 17° in the next Six hours, how cold will it get?

What is 5 - 17?

-12 degrees

To find out how cold it will get, we need to subtract 17° from the current temperature of 5°.

Using the subtraction operation, you can subtract 17 from 5. The result will be the temperature drop over the next six hours.

5° - 17° = -12°

Therefore, it will get -12° cold in the next six hours.

(Note: Negative temperatures indicate temperatures below freezing.)
