Kimberly went to a new animated monster movie yesterday afternoon. When she went into the movie theater, the outside temperature was 
–
8°F. By the time she left the theater, the temperature had decreased by 6°F.
What was the temperature when Kimberly left the theater

The outside temperature when Kimberly entered the theater was \(-8^\circ F\), and it decreased by \(6^\circ F\) while she was inside.

To find the temperature when she left, subtract \(6^\circ F\) from \(-8^\circ F\):

\[
-8^\circ F - 6^\circ F = -14^\circ F
\]

Thus, the temperature when Kimberly left the theater was \(-14^\circ F\).

Here are some related questions:
1. If the temperature had decreased by 10°F instead of 6°F, what would the new temperature be?
2. What would the temperature be if it had increased by 6°F instead of decreasing?
3. How much would the temperature need to change for it to reach 0°F from –8°F?
4. What would the temperature be if it dropped 4°F more after reaching –14°F?
5. If the temperature had started at 5°F and dropped by 6°F, what would it be?

**Tip:** When dealing with negative temperatures, think of subtraction as moving further down the number line.
