    Antarctica's highest recorded temperature was 15 degrees.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    I am going to say that Antarctica highest recorded temperature is x.

    I suppose there is a small typing mistake.

    It is that the difference between Antarctica highest recorded temperature and this is 49.44.

    So we have that x - (-34.44) = 49.44 instead of - 34.44 - x = 49.44, which would lead to a highest temperature way lower than the one recorded in this winter.

    So

    x - (-34.44) = 49.44

    x + 34.44 = 49.44

    x = 49.44 - 34.44

    x = 15

    Antarctica's highest recorded temperature was 15 degrees.
