You need to clarify whether you need the x or the y or both
Minus 2 degrees every hour
there are 4 hours
d=degrees dropped
- 2 x 4 = d
Let's break apart 42.
The 4 is in the tens. The 2 is in the ones.
Place Value starting from Thousands
Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
_________ ________ ____ _____
4 2
So this is how we break up numbers using place value.
Hope this helps!
<em>My goodness, this is rather confusing in the way it is worded. Nevertheless, I will attempt to do what I can. Just please keep in mind that this is my own interpretation of the problem, and therefore could be... incorrect.</em>
<em>I think, to start out, we could set up the problem like so</em>
<em>15 + t ≥ 26</em>
<em>because t is not a set number. </em>
<em>Then all that is needed is to subtract 15 from both sides, and the equation becomes</em>
<em>t ≥ 11</em>
<em>So the resulting answer is t ≥ 11.</em>

<em>I hope that my interpretation helps.</em>
