Let's assign variables for the freezing points of the three chemicals for easier reference.
x = freezing pt of Chemical A
y = freezing pt of Chemical B
From the problem statement, x = -36
Then y would be:
x = y - 13
y = x + 13
y = -36 + 13
y = -23 degrees.
Thus, Chemical B freezes at -23 degrees Celsius.
