You can just multiply the top and the bottom by 2, to get the bottom to be 10. So you get -164/10. From here you can see that 10 goes into 164,16.4 times.
Therefore, -82/5 = -16.4

Newton's Law of Cooling
Tf=Ts+(Ti-Ts)e^(-kt) where Tf is temp at time t, Ts is temp of surroundings, Ti is temp of object/fluid. So we need to find k first.
200=68+(210-68)e^(-10k)
132=142e^(-10k)
132/142=e^(-10k)
ln(132/142)=-10k
k=-ln(132/142)/10
k≈0.0073 so
T(t)=68+142e^(-0.0073t) so how long until it reaches 180°?
180=68+142e^(-0.0073t)
112=142e^(-0.0073t)
112/142=e^(-0.0073t)
ln(112/142)=-0.0073t
t= -ln(112/142)/(0.0073)
t≈32.51 minutes
