Answer:

62 degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

The number of snowy tree cricket chirps per minute is 148 less than 4 times the outside temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Let x = number of chirps

f = temp in Fahrenheit

x = 4f -148

Now let x = 100

100 = 4f-148

Add 148 to each side

100+148 = 4f-148+148

248 = 4f

Divide each side by 4

248/4 = 4f/4

62 =f
