Answer:


t=-3h+25

Explanation:

If we know that when
h=0,
t=25, then we can use a direct proportion equation (
x=ky). The temperature decreases every hour by 3 degrees. However, we know that before any temperature drop, the temperature was 25 degrees. All together, this gives us
t=-3h+25, where
-3h is the temperature drop each hour, and
25 is the starting temperature. Hope that explained things :)

Answer: t=-3h+25

Explanation:

t=-3h+25

25 degrees is a constant-- it never changes, no matter how many hours goes by. So, you don't multiply a variable with it.

The temperature drops every 3 hours-- this is not constant, since it's dependent on the number of hours that passes. So, use a variable here. Since the temperature drops every three hours, it's -3, and not 3.
