If the temperature was 73 degrees outside at 5:00 p.m., but it fell 19 degrees by 10:00 p.m., what is the temperature at 10:00 p.m.? Write equation and solve.
i say 54 because if you subtract 73 from 19 the respond or answer you would get is 54
73 - 19 = t
54
To find the temperature at 10:00 p.m., we can start by subtracting the decrease of 19 degrees from the initial temperature of 73 degrees at 5:00 p.m.
Let's represent the temperature at 10:00 p.m. as 'T'. The equation can be written as:
T = 73 - 19
To solve the equation, we subtract 19 from 73:
T = 54
Therefore, the temperature at 10:00 p.m. would be 54 degrees.
