One day the temperature was 60 degrees. If the temperature dropped 10 degrees, what is the temperature now?

50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

initial temperature = 60 degrees

temperature change = dropped by 10 degrees = -10 degrees

temperature now

= initial temperature + temperature change

= 60 + (-10)

= 60 - 10

= 50 degrees

what is the question here

step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
