    The answer is 16.

    At 6 am its 14 degrees

    And in between 6am and 6pm it increase and decrease 16 degrees

    So the difference is 16

    14 + 25=39

    39 - 9= 30 <----ending temp.

    30 - 14= 16

    make sparkling: (quantity on X ability form of cookies eaten on day X) quantity on Tue = 2 * quantity on Mon - 3 quantity on Wed = 3 * quantity on Tue + 7 quantity on Thur = quantity on Fri = a million/2 * quantity on Wed - 4 Now, we've equations to remedy. (it is performed in different techniques, yet this sort I won't wander off) enable: quantity on Mon = M quantity on Tue = U quantity on Wed = W quantity on Thur = H quantity on Fri = F Now turn each and each of those statements above into equations, respectively: U = 2 M - 3 (1st) W = 3 U + 7 (2nd) H = F = W / 2 - 4 (third) Now to remedy the equations: injury the third equation into: H = F (4th) F = W / 2 - 4 (5th) exchange 1st into 2nd equation W = 3 (2 M - 3) + 7 W = 6 M - 9 + 7 W = 6 M - 2 exchange this into 5th equation: F = (6 M - 2) / 2 - 4 F = 3 M - a million - 4 F = 3 M - 5 which additionally ability that H = F = 3 M - 5 So we've: (from Tue to Fri) U = 2 M - 3 W = 6 M - 2 H = 3 M - 5 F = 3 M - 5 regrettably, the form of cookies on Monday advance into no longer given, and with in basic terms 4 equations there is not any unique answer. there is, even nevertheless, extremely a extensive determination achieveable M values: M can't be unfavorable M can't be 0 (in any different case U, W, H, F are going to be unfavorable) M can't be a million (in any different case U, H, F are going to be unfavorable) i.e. M could be 2 or larger. assume M = 2: U = a million W = 10 U = a million F = a million consequently Wednesday may be the only with the main cookies. because of the fact the formula W = 6 M - 2 will advance swifter than any of the different formula because of the fact it has the utmost gradient of six, Wednesday may be the day while they ate the main cookies, no remember how many they ate on Monday. end the 1st area could be replied: Wednesday, no remember how many cookies have been eaten on Monday. the 2nd area of the question can't be replied with out understanding how many cookies have been eaten on Monday. If the form of cookies eaten on Monday advance into M, then the form of cookies eaten on Wednesday (the utmost day) is (6 * M - 2). (observe: advance into the whole form of cookies given? if so, area 2 could be replied.)
