in the science lab will is testing the freezing point substance which should be -24°c. he is changing at a rate of -3°c per minute starting at 0°c. Write an inequality for the time t before the reaches the freezing point

The temperature change is -3 degree per minute and starts at 0 degree so temperature at time t is,
[tex]0+(-3)t=0-3t[/tex]The inequality of time before the reach of temperature -24 is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0-3t>-24 \\ -3t>-24 \end{gathered}[/tex]So answer is:
First box: -3
Second box: >
Third box: -24
