<PRE><B>Question 72605</B>
Let x=low temp on Monday
Then (4x+1)=low temp on Tuesday
And (x+10)=low temp on Wednesday

Now we are told that the sum of these three temps is 35.  So our equation to solve is:

x+(4x+1)+(x+10)=35  get rid of parens and collect like terms

6x+11=35  subtract 11 from both sides

6x+11-11=35-11  simplify
6x=24  divide both sides by 6
x=4 degrees-------------------------low on Monday
4x+1=16+1=17 degrees---------------------low on Tuesday
x+10=4+10=14 degrees-------------------------low on Wednesday

4+17+14=35
35=35


Hope this helps-----ptaylor
