The outside temperature is $75.6°$

Before you write an equation, you must define the variable. It is usually what you are asked to find.

Let the outside temperature be $x$ .
Then decide what operation(s) to do

The dry ice temperature is lower than the outside temperature by $184.9°$ This can be shown by a subtraction.

$x-184.9 = -109.3" "larr$ now solve for $x$

$x-184.9 +184.9= -109.3+184.9" "$ add 184.9 to each side

$x = 75.6°$
