During a science experiment, Peter found the temperature of a certain liquid to be [tex] -a^\circ [/tex] Centigrade after he had raised the temperature by [tex] x [/tex] degrees.

Write an expression to represent the temperature of the liquid at the start of the experiment, before it was raised.

The original temperature was 'x' degrees below '-a'.
That's (-a - x), or -(a+x).

The initial temperature of the liquid before heating can be accurately represented by the expression T i ​ = − ( a + x ) , where − a is the final temperature and x is the increase in temperature. This shows that you subtract the temperature increase from the final temperature. Overall, the formula helps us understand the temperature change in this science experiment.
