Question

It is currently 0 degrees outside, and the temperature is dropping 4 degrees every hour. The temperature after h hours is -4h. It can be described with the equation -4h=-14. What value of h makes the equation true?

Answer 1

The equation is -4h = -14

To find h, divide both sides of the equation by -4:

H = -14 / -4

H = 3.5 hours.
