Question

The temperature in your town is 31°F. The radio announcer says that the temperature will drop 15 degrees. What will the temperature be? Write an equation to show how you found your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The temperature of the town will be 15°F.

The equation showing the final temperature after drop say x degrees can be written as:

$T'=(T-x)^oF$

Explanation:

The current temperature in our town = T = 31°F

Temperature drop suggested by radio announcer = 15°

Temperature of the town after temperature drop = T'

$T'=T-15^oF$

$T'=31^oF-15^oF=16^oF$

The equation showing the final temperature after drop say x degrees can be written as:

$T'=(T-x)^oF$
