Question

The temperature in San Diego, California is 5 degrees warmer than twice the temperature in Boise, Idaho. The temperature in San Diego is 61 degrees. Write an equation to determine the temperature in Boise.

Answer 1

Answer:61-5=56÷2=28

Step-by-step explanation:First, you want to find the San Diego temp minus 5. Once you find that it is 56, you divide that by two because it says that the temp in Boise would be half of it. Then you find the answer of 28. Hope this helps.

Answer:

2x + 5 = 61

Explanation:

Let x be equal to the temperature in Boise.

Since the temperature in San Diego is 5 degrees warmer than twice the temperature in Boise, we must double the temperature in Boise and then add 5 degrees. To do this we put a 2 in front of the x and then add 5 to that.

2x + 5

Since we know the temperature in San Diego is 61 we can make the equation equal to 61.

2x + 5 = 61
