Question

The melting point of a solid is the temperature at which is solid melts to become a liquid. The melting point of the element bromine is about 19°F. This is about 57°F more than the melting point of mercury. Which of the following equations can you use to find the melting point of mercury? What is the melting point of mercury?

x + 57 = 19
x - 57 = 19
x + 19 = 57
x + 19 = -57

Answer 1

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: If the melting point of Bromine is 19 degrees and the melting point of mercury is 57 degrees less than that then x (which is mercury's melting point) plus 57 degrees will equal 19.
