From midnight to 6:00 am, the temperature rose 8 degrees c. at 6:00 am, the temperature was -20 degrees c. What was the temperature at midnight?

( I DON'T UNDERSTAND! PLZ SHOW ME)

Tmidnight+8C/hr*6hrs=-20

Tmidnite=-20c-48c
Dang, it was cold at midnight.

Ok, I agree with MS Sue, I read it as rose 8C per hour. Bad reading.

=-20

thats all i had to do?

What was the temperature at midnight, Sparkles?

-20?

-20 + -8 = -28 C at midnight

At 6:00 am, the temperature was -20° C

after having risen 8° since midnight

So at midnight it was -28°

(years ago that would have been just a nippy night. These last few years it never got that cold in my part of Canada)

thx everyone especially you Ms.Sue.=}

You're welcome, Sparkles.
