Answer 1

ur.

The equation to represent the amount of change, x, of temperature every hour would be:

5x = -12

To solve this equation, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5:

5x/5 = -12/5

Simplifying further, we get:

x = -12/5

Therefore, the amount of change in temperature every hour is -12/5 degrees.
