Ryan is performing an experiment. He starts with a solution that has a temperature of 12.2°C. He lowers the temperature 5 times by the same amount each time. He stopped the experiment when the temperature of the solution was was -14.61°C.
Which equation can be used to find x, the number of degrees he lowered the temperature by each time?
1 answer
12.2 - 5x = -14.61
