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.

Answer 1

Answer:

The temperature of Bangor is 20 degree

In the following equation

3x + 22° = 82°

x gives the value of Bangor's temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the temperature in Bangor is x then

According to the given condition

3 times the Bangor temperature + 22 degree = temperature of Maine

So

3x + 22° = Maine temperature

And

If

The Maine temperature = 82°

Then

3x + 22° = 82°

3x = 82 - 22

3x = 60°

 x = 20°

So the temperature of Bangor is 20 degree

And

In the following equation

3x + 22° = 82°

x gives the value of Bangor's temperature
