Starting at 1:00 p. M., The temperature changes -4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. Write and solve an equation to find how many hours (x) it will take to reach -1 °F.

it will take 5 hours to reach -1 °F.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature changes -4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. This is a linear rate. The rate at which the temperature is decreasing is in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence(the starting point)

d represents the common difference.

n = x = the number of terms in the sequence(number of hours)

From the information given,

a = 0(at 1 pm, number of hours is 0)

d = - 4 degrees (it is decreasing)

Tn = -1 °F.

We want to determine the number of hours, x when Tn = -1 °F

Therefore,

- 1 = 0 + (x - 1)- 4

- 1 = - x + 4

x = 4 + 1

x = 5 hours

lockers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 40, and 49 are open

i ran through it by the other answer is wrong

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
