Answer: It will take 8 hours to reach this temperature.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: At a desert resort, the temperature at 7 a.m. was 3°C.
The temperature increased by an average of 3.4°C each hour until it reached 30.2°C.
Let x be the number of hours taken to reach 30.2°C..
As per given ,
Initial temperature +(average increase in temperature) (Number of hours) = 30.2
⇒3+3.4x=30.2
⇒3.4x=30.2-3
⇒3.4x=27.2
⇒ x=8 [Divide both sides by 3.4]
Hence, it will take 8 hours to reach this temperature.
