Question

The low temperature on a certain day is 51°F. The low temperature is 17°F lower than the high temperature, h.

Which equation can be used to find the high temperature for that day?


51 = 17h

51 = h + 17

51=h−17

h + 51 = 17

Answer 1

c. 51=h−17

Explanation:

the other ones dont make since and C is the only one that does.

Answer 2

51=h-17

You’re trying to find a certain high temperature. You know that the low is 51°, which is 17° lower than the high temperature(h). With this information, you can find that h=68 (51+17). To get from 68° to 51°, you would subtract 17°. Making the equation 51=h-17.
