Question

The temperature of dry ice is -109.3. This is 184.9 less than the outside temperature. Write and solve an equation to find the outside temperature t.

Answer 1

75.6 units

Explanation:

The dry ice has a temperature of -109.3 units.

The outside temperature is 184.9 units more than the dry ice temperature.

If the outside temperature is C then we can write from the above condition as

C - 184.9 = - 109.3 ...this equation gives the temperature of outside.

Solving it we get C = 184.9 - 109.3 = 75.6.

So the outside temperature is 75.6 units. (Answer)
