Question

The high temperatures for two consecutive days were 83°F and 79°F. If the average(mean) high temperaature, including a third day, was greater than 82°F, then what was the high temperature on the third day? Write an inequality representing the problem.

Answer 1

Answer:

83F+79F+X

-----------------      >82F

        3

Step-by-step explanation:

X is the unknown temp, which is the third day.  adding all those up and dividing that by 3 will give you the average. if the average is above 82F, then you just add a > symbol showing that its higher than 82F
