Answer

There are several ways that we could solve this problem. First, we can say that the temperature in New Castle is $26^\circ F$ below zero and in Tucson it is $95^\circ F$ above zero; therefore we can say:

$26+95=121^\circ F$

Also, we can solve this problem by using a number line. New Castle’s temperature is units away from zero and Tucson’s is units away.

We can see that Tucson is $121^\circ F$ warmer than New Castle.
