Given the condition:
The temperature at 5pm is 20 degrees. The temperature at 10pm is -5 degrees.
Determine the equation.
Solution:
For the temperature change, we can write the equation as,
Temperature change = t -5x
x = number of hours
t = current temperature
Now to find the temperature change, we simply needed to equate the values to the equation.
Temperature change = 20 - 5(5)
Temperature change = 20 - 25
Temperature change = -5
Final answer:
Temperature change = t -5x
