Ryan is performing an experiment. he starts with a solution that has a temperature of 12.2°c. he lowers the temperature 5 times by the same amount each time. he stopped the experiment when the temperature of the solution was was -14.61°c. which equation can be used to find x, the number of degrees he lowered the temperature by each time?

The equation that can be used to find x, is given by

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of degrees he lowered the temperature by each time be 'x'.

Temperature he starts with = 12.2° C

Temperature he stopped with = -14.61° C

According to question, it is said that he lowers the temperature 5 times by the same amount each time.

So, it becomes,

Hence, the equation that can be used to find x, is given by
