Question

The temperature in Miami, Florida is 22 degrees warmer than three times the temperature in Bangor, Maine. The temperature in Miami is 82 degrees. Write an equation to determine the temperature in Bangor.

3x + 82 = 22
3x + 22 = 82
3x − 22 = 82
3x − 82 = 22

Answer 1

Here it’s pretty messy but u can read it

Answer 2

3x + 22 = 88

Explanation:

Let us suppose the temperature in Bangor is x.

Now, it has been given that temperature in Miami, Florida is 22 degrees warmer than three times the temperature in Bangor, Maine.

Therefore, temperature in Miami, Florida is 3x+ 22

Now, the temperature in Miami is 82 degrees.

Therefore, the expression 3x + 22 should be equal to 82.

Hence, the equation is

3x + 22 = 88

Second option is correct.
