The temperature is currently 60 F. If the temperature drops on average 2 degrees per day, how many days will it be until the temperature drops below 42 F? Solve for the inequality please!

9 days

because legit 60 - 42 = 18
18 divide 2 = 9 days

Or you could’ve just done 42 + 2 +2+2 until you get to 60 and you would do it 9 times. Meaning 9 days
