ithe tempertaure at the end of the day was 80 degrees, the temperture increase twice the day, once of 8 degrees and another time was 4degrees. What was the temperture if the start day?

1 answer

Let's assume the temperature at the start of the day as x degrees.

The temperature increased twice during the day: once by 8 degrees and another time by 4 degrees.

Therefore, at the end of the day, the temperature was x + 8 + 4 = x + 12 degrees.

Given that the temperature at the end of the day was 80 degrees, we can write the equation:

x + 12 = 80

Subtracting 12 from both sides:

x = 80 - 12

x = 68

Thus, the temperature at the start of the day was 68 degrees.
