Question

The high temperature was 92 degrees fahrenheit this was 24 degrees fahrenheit higher than the overnight low temperature write an equation to determine whether the low temperature was 62 degrees fahrenheit or 68 degrees fahrenheit

Answer 1

We let x be the low temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit). A temperature that is 24 degrees Fahrenheit higher than this is 92. The equation that would best represent the scenario is,
92 = x + 24
The value of x from the equation is 68. Therefore, the low temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
