Let t represent time in hour

Temperature in Raleighis can be given as 75 + 2t

Temperature in Charlotte can be given as 82 + t

For them to be in the same temerature:

75 + 2t = 82 + t

Collect like term and then solve for t

2t - t = 82 - 75

t = 7 hours

Hence, they will have the same temperature at the 7th hours
