Beginning Algebra With Applications, Chapter 1, 1.2, Section 1.2, Problem 150

On January 22, 1943, the temperature at Spearfish, South Dakota, rose from $-4^{\circ} F$ to $45^{\circ} F$ in two minutes. How many degrees did the temperature rise during those two minutes?

We need to find the temperature rise by adding the temperature at Spearfish. So

$-4+45 = 41^{\circ} F$

The temperature rise is $41^{\circ} F$ in two minutes.
