The temperature dropped by 12° in 5 hours. The temperature dropped the same amount every hour. Complete the equation that represents the amount of change, x , of temperature every hour and solve this equation.(1 point) 5x= The temperature decreased by ° every hour
The equation that represents the amount of change, x, of temperature every hour is:
5x = -12
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = -12/5
Thus, the amount of temperature decreasing every hour is -12/5 degrees.
