So i just started modeling and two step inequalities and my question is 62°f and it drops 2 degrees every hour .how many hours was it before the temperature was below 40°

It was 11 hours because if the temperature drops 2 degrees after every hour, after 11 hours, the temperature would have dropped 22 degrees and 62 - 22 = 40.

11 hours

Equation:

62 - 2x = T

62 - 2(11) = 40

21

jk it's 20

step-by-step explanation:

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
