Question

For nitrogen to be a liquid, its temperature must be within 12.78 °F of –333.22 °F. The equation |x + 333.22 | = 12.78 can be used to find x, which represents the maximum and minimum temperatures at which nitrogen is a liquid.

is the maximum temperature at which nitrogen is a liquid.

is the minimum temperature at which nitrogen is a liquid.

Answer 1

For nitrogen to be a liquid, its temperature must be within 12.78 °F of –333.22 °F.

this means at the lower extreme, nitrogen is 12.78 less than -333.22 and at the greater extreme nitrogen is 12.78 more than -333.22

so try to derive the the max and min temps from this
