Answer: 89 meters


Step-by-step explanation:

Although the student in the example used in this question did not make too many errors, there is a better way of working out this equation so that you will find the correct answer. In an equation like this where you need to get I on it's own, you need to divide everything by two to get -w+P over 2 = l. To get to this point, to start with you would need to do -2w+P=2l instead of P-2w=2l.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Temperature at 9 A.M =  13° F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Temperature at 6 A.M = - 2° F

Temperature increases in 3 hours =  15° F

Find:

Temperature at 9 A.M

Computation:

Temperature at 9 A.M = Temperature at 6 A.M + Temperature increases in 3 hours

Temperature at 9 A.M =  - 2° F + 15° F

Temperature at 9 A.M =  13° F
