the tempertature dropped by 12 in 5 hours the temperature dropped the same amout every hour complete the equation that represents the amount of change x of temperture every hour and solve this equation

Answer 1

Let's call the initial temperature "T". If the temperature dropped by 12 in 5 hours, that means it dropped by 12/5 degrees every hour.

So, the equation representing the amount of change "x" of temperature every hour is:

x = -12/5

To solve this equation, we can multiply both sides by 5:

5x = -12

Divide both sides by 5:

x = -12/5

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