A person with a normal body temperature of 36 ° C dies in an accident while traveling by car. The body temperature of this person was 30 °C when his body was found and the body temperature was 28 °C 1 hour after it was found. Also, if the temperature of the ENVERİONMENT was 20 °C when the body was found, how long before this person was found? Please express it mathematically and solve it by equation.
