Write and solve an equation to find the answer.
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?
Someone please help, I just need answers to help check my work I am not good at math what so ever
x+8=-20
x=-20+8
x=-12
That's all!
Bye Bye!
To find the temperature at midnight, we need to set up an equation using the given information.
Let's assume the temperature at midnight is represented by 'x'°C. And since the temperature rose by 8°C from midnight to 6:00 am, we can represent the temperature at 6:00 am as (x + 8)°C.
Given that the temperature at 6:00 am is -20°C, we can write the equation as:
(x + 8) = -20
Now, we can solve for 'x' by isolating it on one side of the equation:
x + 8 = -20
x = -20 - 8
x = -28
Therefore, the temperature at midnight was -28°C.
sorry, @Arya
better try again
OH ARYA JUST GOT CAUGHT BY MR.OOBLECK
x + 8 = -20
right - check your work >wink wink<
hmmm. I don't see any ...
