The temperature of the substance at 10am  =  63.95°F

Let the temperature at 10 am be x

The temperature changes by −8.7°F from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m

The temperature at 1 pm = x  -  8.7

At 5 p.m., the temperature is 33.5°F

The temperature at 5 pm = 33.5°F

The temperature at 5 pm is 2/3 of what the temperature was at 1 p.m

33.5 = \frac{2}{3} ( x-8.7 )

Solve for x

3(33.5)  =  2(x  -  8.7)

110.5  =  2x  -  17.4

2x  =  110.5 +  17.4

2x   =  127.9

x   =  127.9/2

x   =  63.95°F

The temperature of the substance at 10am =  63.95°F

Replace the x in the equation with the given value of x and you will find that the 3rd equation is corret.

F(X) = 4(1/2)^X

4(1/2)^-2 = 4 * 4 = 16
