If 43.5 is 1/3 of what it was at 2 p.m. then we need to multiply the equation by three where we get 130.5. Since it changed by -7.5 we have to add 7.5 to get our final answer of 138 degrees at 8 P.M.
An equation is a mathematical statement that shows the equal value of two expressions while an inequality is a mathematical statement that shows that an expression is lesser than or more than the other.
