Starting at noon, the temperature dropped steadily at a rate of 2 degrees

Celsius every hour. For each of these situations, write and solve an equation

and describe what your variable represents (Don't say the variable represents

an unknown amount!).

A.) How many hours did it take for the temperature to decrease by 12 degrees

Celsius? (Write an equation and solve.)

B.)

If the temperature after the 12 degree drop was - 6 degrees Celsius, what

was the temperature at noon? (Write an equation and solve.)

C.)

What should the temperature be by midnight? (Write an equation and

solve.)
