SOLVING REAL-LIFE PROBLEMS
We will look at some specific real-life problems to learn
how to write multi-step equations which can then be
solved.
EXAMPLE 6
Extra Example 6
What Celsius temperature would indicate a fever of 104°F?
9
Use the formula F  C  32.

Checkpoint
Use F 

C = 100
EXAMPLE 7
Extra Example 7
Air temperature drops about 3°F for each 1000 ft increase in
altitude. If the air temperature at sea level is 77°F, at what
altitude would you expect the temperature to be 53°F?

Checkpoint
The speed of a falling object increases 32 ft/sec for each
second it falls. How many seconds will it take the speed of
a rock dropped from a very high cliff to increase from
50 ft/sec to 210 ft/sec?
t = 5 sec
Example 8
The sum of three numbers is 67. The second number is 4
more than three times the first number. The third number is
three less than two times the first number. Find the three
numbers.
