It is currently 10 degrees outside. The temperature is dropping 5 degrees every hour. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number of hours, h, that it will take for the temperature to drop below -40 degrees.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

present temprature outside=10 degree

temp drops every hour= 5 dgree

let number of hours=h

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 hours

--l----l----l----l-----l----l-----l-----l-----l----l----l----l----l-----------

-40-35 -30 -25 -20-15 -10 -5 0 5 10 degrees

it will take 10 hours

for the temperature below -40 degree

h=10
