From midnight to 6:00 am, the temperature rose 8°C. At 6:00 am, the temperature was –20°C. What was the temperature at midnight.
I know it's -20-8 = -28 C temp at 12am, but how do I write it an equation?
you put how you wrote it step by step. like -20-8= -28 c
I agree with bob
-20-8 = -28 so it would be -28
This is all Ogre now.
- 28 people
I agree with Fnaf
& eye concur w/ FredBear
thanks ~bob!
To write an equation for this problem, you can use the concept of a temperature change. Let's represent the temperature at midnight as "T," and the temperature at 6:00 am as "-20°C."
We are told that the temperature rose 8°C from midnight to 6:00 am. Since the temperature increased, we can say that the temperature change is positive (+8°C).
So, the equation can be written as:
T + 8 = -20
To find the temperature at midnight, we need to solve for T.
First, subtract 8 from both sides of the equation to isolate T:
T = -20 - 8
T = -28°C
Therefore, the temperature at midnight was -28°C.
