Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
3(x - 2) + 8 = 2(x + 5)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- (Parenthesis) Distribute: 3x - 6 + 8 = 2x + 10
- Combine like terms: 3x + 2 = 2x + 10
- {Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides: x + 2 = 10
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides: x = 8
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(8 - 2) + 8 = 2(8 + 5)
- (Parenthesis) Subtract/Add: 3(6) + 8 = 2(13)
- Multiply: 18 + 8 = 26
- Add: 26 = 26
Here we see that 26 does indeed equal 26.
∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.
48, 53, 58, 63 is from low to hight numbers
The temperature at 9 am was -11 degrees.
We know that at 5 am, it was -7 degrees. Since the change of temperature is a negative number, then we subtract the absolute value of the change from -7. -7 - 3 = -10. Following this pattern, we then have:
-10 - 2 = -12 (6 am - 7 am)
-12 - 5 = -17 (7 am - 8 am)
-17 + 6 = -11 (8 am - 9 am, added since it was a positive change of temperature)
And our final answer is -11 degrees Fahrenheit.
