Answer 1

What he said is correct! :)

Answer 2

For Phoenix, the temperature can be modeled using
T = t - 2 -3
T = t - 5
For Tucson, the temperature is modeled by
T = t - 4

The two expressions the represent temperature in the two cities are not equivalent since they are not equal when reduced to the simplest form.
