The temperature decreased by 12° in 5 hours, so the temperature decreased by 12/5 = <<12/5=2.4>>2.4° every hour.
Therefore, the equation that represents the amount of change, x, of temperature every hour is 5x = 12.
To solve this equation, we divide both sides by 5:
5x/5 = 12/5
x = 2.4
So, the temperature decreased by 2.4° every hour.
The temperature dropped by 12° in 5 hours. The temperature dropped the same amount every hour. Complete the equation that represents the amount of change, x, of temperature every hour and solve this equation.(1 point)
5x=
