 * Strategy Questions**
 * S** earch the word problem
 * 1) Read the problem carefully
 * 2) Ask yourself questions: "What do I know? What do I need to find?"
 * 3) Write down the facts
 * //In the morning it was -8° F.//
 * //During the day, the temperature rose by +17° F.//
 * //One positive and one negative cancel each other out.//
 * //I need to find what the temperature was in the afternoon.//
 * T** ranslate the words into an equation in picture form



//I can cancel -8 and +8, which leaves me with +9 tiles remaining, therefore:// //(-8°F) + (+17°F) = +9°F// //I checked my answer.// //+9 remains when I cancel -8 and +8 and I keep my units of 9°F.//
