How to solve this with algebra?

2. An 88.5 gram piece of iron initially at 78.8°C is place in a beaker containing 244 grams of
water at 18.8°C. When thermal equilibrium is reached, what is the final temperature? The
specific heat capacity for iron is 0.449 J/(g·°C). Assume no heat loss to the surroundings.
