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?

Thank you for reading, i'm highly confused on the answer and any help would do greatly! Thank you.

cotten ball wierd

You help me i guess bc idk the answers

if is went up by 8 the mean 8 if you add eight you get 20 so the answer is 12.

You are welcome.

So, at midnight since the temperature WAS -20 and it rose 8. It wouldn't be -28. It'd be -12, because the 8 is positive. In conclusion the temperature would be -12 at 6am

Does that make sense? TwT

Pfft

Thank you guys so much! :)

the 8 is not supposed to be negative

me: *whispers* i guess humans aren't as smart as we thought

evil me/ghost : *nods* i thought they were the "MATHEMATICS"
me: *laughs*
