Question

The temperature dropped 8 degrees between 6:00 P.M. and midnight. The temperature at midnight was 26 F. Write and solve an equation to find the temperature at 6:00 P.M.​

Answer 1

x = 34

Explanation:

-8 = dropped 8 degrees

26 = 26 degrees at midnight

x = temperature at 6

x - 8 = 26

(add 8 to both sides) x = 34
