Question

Marta recorded the temperature at 8 p.m. as 56°F and the temperature at 8 a.m. the next morning as 36°F. Marta assumed the temperature changed at a constant rate. She wrote an equation to find the number of degrees the temperature dropped each hour, h, of the night. Which equation did Marta write?

Answer 1

5h 3
