Question

The temperature in Tampa, Florida is 15 degrees warmer than twice the temperature in Chicago, Illinois. The temperature in Tampa is 75 degrees. Write an equation to determine the temperature in Chicago.

Answer 1

Answer:
`75=2C+15`

Explanation:

Given : The temperature in Tampa, Florida is 15 degrees warmer than twice the temperature in Chicago, Illinois.

Let the temperature in Chicago is denoted as 'C in degrees'.

Since , The temperature in Tampa is 75 degrees.

Then, we have the following equation

`75=2C+15`

Hence, an equation to determine the temperature in Chicago will be
`75=2C+15`

Answer 2

75=15+2x

30 degrees in Chicago

Explanation:

x will be Chicago's temperature.

75=15+2x

Because 75 is the total temperature in Tampa, and you get that total temperature by adding 15 and 2 times the temperature of Chicago.

Subtract 15 from both sides.

60=2x

Divide 2 from both sides.

30=x

So it's 30 degrees in Chicago.
