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.
To solve this equation, divide both sides by 5:
5x / 5 = 0 / 5
x = 0
Therefore, the temperature decreased by 0° every hour.
