the boiling point of water 212 degree f. this is 180 degree more than its freezing point. define the variable. then write and solve an equation to find the frezzing point of water. show your work.

the variable would be:
d could be the variable.
f + 180 = 212 degree

f+180 -180 = 212 + -180
f+0 = 32
f= 32
check :
32 + 180 = 212
is this right?

Looks good to me.

Did you not already know this?

we are learning this in class how to write out equations i was trying to follow steps but i wasn't sure if i was right or not.

Yes, your solution is correct. Let's go through the steps to find the freezing point of water.

First, we define the variable. Let's use 'f' to represent the freezing point of water.

Next, we use the given information that the boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 180 degrees more than its freezing point. This can be written as the equation:
f + 180 = 212

To find the freezing point, we need to isolate the variable 'f'. We do this by subtracting 180 from both sides of the equation:
f + 180 - 180 = 212 - 180
f = 32

Therefore, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

To check our answer, we can substitute the value of 'f' back into the original equation:
32 + 180 = 212

32 + 180 is indeed equal to 212.

So, your solution is correct. The freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
