The current temperature in Smalltown is 19 °F. This is 7 degrees less than twice the temperature that it was six hours ago. What was the temperature in Smalltown six hours ago? Drag and drop the correct number into the box to answer the question.

5 degrees F

Step-by-step explanation:

because 7 x 2= 14

19-14=5

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

y=mx+b

step-by-step explanation:

m slope

b y-intercept
