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. 3x + 82 = 22 3x + 22 = 82 3x ? 22 = 82 3x ? 82 = 22

Answer 1

3x + 22 = 82

Explanation:

I am positive its correct

Answer 2

`82=3x+22`

The temperature in Bangor is
`x=20\°`

Explanation:

Let

x -----> the temperature in Bangor

y ----> the temperature in Miami

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

`y=3x+22` ----> equation A

`y=82` ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

`82=3x+22`

`3x=82-22`

`3x=60`

`x=20\°`
