Question

We just found that x=6. That means the two stations will be the same temperature after 6 hours. Now, let's find what the temperature will be at that time. Start by substituting 6 hours for x in the expression for Station A.
Station A
Temperature at Station A after x hours: −8+3x
−8+3·=

Answer 1

To find the temperature at Station A after 6 hours, we need to substitute \( x = 6 \) into the expression for the temperature at Station A, which is given as:

\[
-8 + 3x
\]

Substituting \( x = 6 \):

\[
-8 + 3 \cdot 6 = -8 + 18
\]

Now, simplifying this:

\[
-8 + 18 = 10
\]

Therefore, the temperature at Station A after 6 hours will be **10 degrees**.
