One evening, the temperature drops 12 °F to become 37 °F. What was the temperature at the beginning of the evening? Write and solve an equation to represent this situation.
Step-by-step explanation: x - 12 = 37, So all we have to do is reverse it. That means we add 37 and 12 to get the beginning temperature. 37 + 12 = 49. So at the beginning of the evening, it was 49°F.
