Water boils at different temperatures at different elevations. The boiling temperature of the water is 212F at sea level​ (0 feet) but drops about 1.72F for every​ 1,000 feet of elevation. Write a formula for the boiling point at a given elevation. Then solve the formula for the elevation when the boiling point for water is 190F. Question content area bottom.

Determine a formula for the boiling point​ b, in degrees​ Fahrenheit, at elevation​ h, in feet.

When the boiling point is 190​F, the elevation is about
