See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the temperatures of Miami and Bangor be M and B degrees respectively.

According to the given information:

M = 3B + 22... (required equation)

Plug M = 82

82 = 3B + 22

82 - 22 = 3B

60 = 3B

B = 60/3

B = 20 degrees

Thus, the temperature in Bangor is 20 degrees.
