The temperature was −10 °f and dropped by 16 °f. which statement represents the resulting temperature in degrees fahrenheit? a −10 + 16 = 6 b 10 − (−16) = 26 c −10 − 16 = −26 d −10 − (−16) = −6

You are starting with a negative number (-10). The temperature the drops by 16 degrees so you are adding another negative (which is the same as just subtracting).

Your answer would be C
-10 - 16 = -26 degrees
