At midnight, the temperature in a city was 5 degrees Celsius. The temperature was dropping at a steady rate of 2 degrees Celsius per hour.

Write an inequality that represents t, the number of hours past midnight, when the temperature was colder than -4 degrees Celsius. Explain or show your reasoning.
Show all the values of t that make your inequality true on a number line, like the one shown below.

Answer:

(5-2t)<-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature is 5 °C at midnight, and it is dropping at a speed of 2 °C each hour. If it's past midnight, the temperature will be t degrees after t hours ( 5 - 2t ). If the temperature is below - 4 ℃, the inequality can be  ( 5-2t ) - 4
