Question

The low temperature was 35f. this was 13f lower than the daytime high temperature. write an equation to determine whether the high temperature was 48f or 42f

Answer 1

daytime high - 13 = low temp
d - 13 = 35
d = 35 + 13
d = 48 <===

Answer 2

Answer: The high temperature is 48°F.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Low temperature = 35° F

Let the high temperature be 'x'.

According to question, low temperature was 13 lower than high temperature.

`35=x-13\\\\35+13=x\\\\48^\circ F=x`

Hence, the high temperature is 48°F.

Therefore, First option is correct.
