14. Another one of your responsibilities as research assistant is to monitor the temperature of a heating machine. You notice the temperature is 16^circ below the standard 121^circ C setting. What is the temperature of the machine? F. -137^circ C G. -105^circ C H. 16^circ C 5. 105^circ C K. 137^circ C

## Step 1<br />The problem states that the temperature of the heating machine is 16 degrees below the standard setting of 121 degrees Celsius. This means that we need to subtract 16 degrees from the standard temperature to find the current temperature.<br /><br />### **The formula to calculate the current temperature is:**<br />### \( Current\ Temperature = Standard\ Temperature - Temperature\ Difference \)<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Substitute the given values into the formula.<br /><br />### \( Current\ Temperature = 121^{\circ }C - 16^{\circ }C \)<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Perform the subtraction to find the current temperature.
