Question

For nitrogen to be a liquid, its temperature must be within 12.78 °F of –333.22 °F. The equation |x + 333.22 | = 12.78 can be used to find x, which represents the maximum and minimum temperatures at which nitrogen is a liquid.

_________ is the maximum temperature at which nitrogen is a liquid.
_________ is the minimum temperature at which nitrogen is a liquid.

GPT 3.5
To find the maximum temperature at which nitrogen is a liquid, we solve the equation |x + 333.22| = 12.78 for x:

x + 333.22 = 12.78 or x + 333.22 = -12.78
x = -320.44 or x = -346

Therefore, the maximum temperature at which nitrogen is a liquid is -320.44 °F.

To find the minimum temperature at which nitrogen is a liquid, we take the negative value of -346:

Therefore, the minimum temperature at which nitrogen is a liquid is -346 °F.
