On a given day, the coldest surface temperature on the moon, $-280$°f, is $53.6$°f colder than twice the coldest surface temperature on earth. what is the coldest surface temperature on earth that day?

the coldest temperature is

°f.

question 2

justify your answer.
me it's due today

We can add 53.6 in both sides and we got:

And now we can divide both sides by 2 and we got:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know the following info:

represent the coldest temperature in the Moon

represent the minimum temperature of Earth

And we know the following relation :"the coldest surface temperature on the Moon, $-280$°F, is $53.6$°F colder than twice the coldest surface temperature on Earth", so we can write this like that:

We can add 53.6 in both sides and we got:

And now we can divide both sides by 2 and we got:

step-by-step explanation:

mean or average is 40.6

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x
