No, he is right it is -17.5 because when you look at the problem all your have to do is substract 10 then put a negative sign on it, simple.

To find the temperature at midnight, you need to subtract 10 degrees from the temperature at nightfall.

Given that the temperature at nightfall was 8 degrees, we can subtract 10 degrees from it:

8 degrees - 10 degrees = -2 degrees

Therefore, the temperature at midnight was -2 degrees.

8 - 10 = -_____

It was 8 degrees at nightfall. The temperature dropped 12 degrees by midnight. What was the temperature at midnight?

I'm assuming it's -4, sorry i ain't smart if that's possibly wrong
