    in it I mass=150g, initial temp 1=95, mass2=500g, temp2=?, final temperature=27.2 C1=0.444C2=4.18

    using formula

    m1c1 (final temp-initial temp1) = m2c2 (temp2-final temp)

    150x0.444 (27.2-95) = 500x4.18 (?-27.2)

    66 (-67.8) = 2000 (?-27.5)

    -4474.8=2000?-55000

    collect like terms

    -4474.8+55000=2000?

    50525=2000?

    divide both sides by 2000

    2000?/2000=50525/2000

    initial temperature = 25.26 degree Celsius
