Question

The coldest temperature recorded in Alaska was –80°F. This was 10°F warmer than the coldest temperature recorded in Siberia. Which equation can be used to find the coldest temperature recorded in Siberia?

Answer 1

The equation that can be used to find the coldest temperature recorded in Siberia is y + 10  =  -80

Let the coldest temperature in Alaska be x

The coldest temperature recorded in Alaska was –80°F

x  =  –80°F

Let the coldest temperature in Siberia be y

The coldest temperature recorded in Alaska was 10°F warmer than the coldest temperature recorded in Siberia

This can be interpreted as:

Coldest temperature in Alaska  =  Coldest temperature in Siberia  +  10

x    =  y   +   10................(*)

Since x = -80

Substitute x = -80 into equation (*)

-80   =   y    +   10

This can be re-written as:

y  +  10   =   -80

The equation that can be used to find the coldest temperature recorded in Siberia is y + 10  =  -80
