Temperature difference

Libya's highest temperature was recorded at 58 degrees Celsius, and the lowest was recorded at -88 degrees Celsius. What is the temperature difference?

Correct answer:

t =  146 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} t_1=58^{\circ }\text{C } \\ {t}_2=-88^{\circ }\text{C } \\ t=t_1-t_2=58-(-88)=146^{\circ }\text{C} \end{gathered}$$
