The temperature dropped 18 degrees from 6:00 P. M. to midnight. If the temperature at midnight was 2°F, what was the temperature at 6:00 PM? (Use 1 for the variable)
11. Equation:
12. Solution:

x - 18°F = 2°F

x = 20°F

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write the equation with the information you know. It dropped 18°F from 6 to midnight, and by midnight the temperature was 2°F

Your equation should look like this: x - 18°F = 2°F

Move the constant to the right hand side and change it's sign:

x = 2°F + 18°F

Add the numbers to get x = 20°F

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
