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 this equation, we need to isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
5x/5 = -12°/5
x = -12°/5
x = -2.4°
Therefore, the temperature decreased by 2.4° every hour.
