Question

The difference between the record high and low temperaturs in Charlotte, North Carolina, is 109°F. The record low temperature was -5°F. Write and solve an equation to find the record high temperature.

Answer 1

Answer: 104 degrees farenheit

Step-by-step explanation: H = record high temperature. -5 + 109 = H. -5+109 = 109 + (-5) = 109-5 = 104. H = 104.

Answer 2

104

Explanation:

Let x = record high and y = record low temperature in Charlotte. The difference between the records high and low, x and y, is 109 degrees Fahrenheit, so x - y = 109. Record low is -5, so x - (-5) = 109.

x + 5 = 109

x = 104
