Question

For nitrogen to be a liquid, its temperature must be within 12.78 °F of –333.22 °F. Which equation can be used to find the maximum and minimum temperatures at which nitrogen is a liquid, x?

The equation that can be used to find the maximum and minimum temperatures is

Answer 1

The answer is |x + 333.22| = 12.78

Answer 2

To determine the maximum and minimum temperatures at which nitrogen remains a liquid, use the equation |x - (-333.32)| = 12.78, where x is equal to the maximum and minimum temperatures. Using this equation, the maximum temperature is -320.54 degrees Fahrenheit while the minimum is -346.10 degrees Fahrenheit.
