it is 212.5°C outside when the temperature starts increasing by 2.5°C each hour. How long will it take for the temperature to reach 25°C?

75 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you meant decreasing... you find out the span between 212.5 and 25 which is 187.5 and then divide it by 2.5 (which is the change)

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2
