Answer:

We have the same homework!!!!

hours that passed= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(1st step)We start with the expression:

(1st)82-0.4x=78

"STARTED at 82 degrees" 82

"Cooling DOWN 0.4 degrees" -0.4

"EACH hour" x

"NOW 78 degrees" =78

(2nd step) We want to get the variable x alone, so we have to do the opposite sign they have, to cancel the number out for it to be 0.

(1st) 82 -0.4x =78

(2nd) -82 ÷-0.4 =78

(3rd)Now, you work out the problem (transfer the numbers from the left to the right). First, you have to do the subtraction sign, not sure why.

(1st) 82 -0.4x =78

(2nd) -82 ÷-0.4 =78

(3rd) 78 -82= -4

-4÷-0.4= 10

X= 10

there you have it!

To make sure this is correct, you do the following.

82 -0.4 x 10

Solve using PEMDAS

-0.4 x 10 = -4

its time to add 82.

82 - 4 = 78

78 is the exact temperature that was said in the problem

Realize the tangent function has a period of 180°, so when your calculator (or memory) tells you
.. θ = arctan(-1)
.. θ = -45°
you can translate that value into the desired range by adding multiples of 180° to get the two solutions ...
.. θ = 135°
.. θ = 315°
