At 6:00 a. m., the temperature outside was 8°F below zero. By noon, it rose by 17°F. At 5:00 p. m., the temperature dropped by 3°F. What was the evening temperature?

6 degrees fahrenheit.

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 degrees + 17 degrees = 9 degrees.  9 degrees - 3 degrees = 6 degrees.

p ÷ r = tan(x)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there is a figure below shows a right triangle: a right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units.

graph is missing so i will create the graph as per given information.

the angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. the angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

now we need to find about what is p ÷ r equal to.

so we can use trigonometric ratio tan(x)=[altitude]/[base] to find the value of p ÷ r, because p is the altitude and r is the base.

p ÷ r=tan(x)

hence final answer is p ÷ r=tan(x).
