negative number word problem exercise.....When Tiffany went outside to go sledding in the morning, she heard on the radio that the temperature was 23 degrees below zero. After sledding for 2 hours, the temperature was now -7 degrees.

By how many degrees had the temperature increased?

the negative sign on #7 in the question displays on the previous line, making it easy to think the number is positive.
