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 belive this is a equation I have to write out such as 8x20=T or such.
Please explain how to do this!
Thanks.
x + 8 = -20.
X = -28 Deg. @ midnight.

Is that right?
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Define the variables
Let's define the temperature at midnight as "x". We know that from midnight to 6:00 am, the temperature rose by 8°C. Therefore, at 6:00 am, the temperature was (x + 8)°C.
Step 2: Set up the equation
At 6:00 am, the temperature was -20°C. We can now set up an equation:
(x + 8) = -20
Step 3: Solve the equation
To find the value of "x", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides:
(x + 8) - 8 = -20 - 8
x = -28
Step 4: Determine the temperature at midnight
The value of "x" represents the temperature at midnight. Therefore, the temperature at midnight was -28°C.
So, the answer is -28°C.
