Answer:

A) City A was 5°C and City B was 4°C

Step-by-step explanation:

let temperature of City A be x and City B be y

According to the conditions of the question

4x = 8 + 3y (first temperature)

x - 2y = -3 (second temperature)

x = -3 + 2y

4(x) = (-3 + 2y)×4

4x = -12 + 8y

But it's already given that 4x = 8 + 3y

So,

8 + 3y = -12 + 8y

8 + 12 = 8y - 3y

20 = 5y

y = 20/5

y = 4

That means City B temperature was 4°C

So Option A

If you want you can find x to find City A temperature
