What's Up with the Weather?

Here's this weekend's math challenge. Submit your answer to Ms. Earl on Monday morning. Be sure to show all your work.



The weather this fall is very unpredictable! Ms. Earl's students decided to track the temperatures each day. The noon temperature on Monday is 12 degrees. On Tuesday, the noon temperature is 3 degrees warmer. On Wednesday, the temperature at noon is 5 degrees cooler than the day before. On Thursday, the noon temperature is up 8 degrees from the previous day. On Friday, the temperature is 2 degrees cooler than the previous day. What is the temperature on Friday?
