in 2023 the temperature on the first day of summer was 86 Fahrenheit this is six Fahrenheit less than the first day of summer the previous year. What was the temperature on the first day of summer in 2022

Answer 1

Let \( x \) be the temperature on the first day of summer in 2022. According to the information given, the temperature on the first day of summer in 2023 was 86°F, which is 6°F less than the temperature in 2022.

We can set up the equation:

\[ x - 6 = 86 \]

To find \( x \), we can add 6 to both sides of the equation:

\[ x = 86 + 6 \] \[ x = 92 \]

So, the temperature on the first day of summer in 2022 was 92°F.
