Question

Otto is told the average low temperature in January is 16.1∘C cooler than the average low temperature in November. What equation can Otto use to find the average low temperature in January?

Answer 1

x - 16.1°C

Explanation:

Given that average low temperature in January is 16.1 cooler Than average low temperature in November

Let average low temperature in November = x

Since, average low temperature in January is cooler than average low temperature in November, then, January temperature is less Than in November

Hence,

Average low temperature in January :

[Average low temperature in November - 16.1°C]

(x - 16.1°C)
