Question 1050901: A scientist measures the change in the temperature of a chemical solution. At the start of the experiment, the solution is at a temperature of -14.96 degree Celsius. The temperature decreases 2.9 degree Celsius each hour. Write an expression that can be used to find the temperature of the solution after 3 hours and what is the temperature of the solution after 3 hours rounded to the nearest whole degree? Thanks!
