Answer 2

Explanation:

high temperature - low temperature = 25

high temperature - (-8) = 25

{when subtracting negative numbers, we have to add the additive inverse of (-8). Additive inverse of (-8) is 8}

high temperature + 8 = 25

{Subtract 8 form both the sides}

high temperature +8 - 8 = 25 - 8

high temperature = 25 - 8

high temperature = 17 degree Fahrenheit
