Answer:

<em>The temperature six hours ago was 13 °F</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Six hours ago the temperature was x degrees.

The temperature now is "6 degrees less than twice the temperature that it was six hours ago."

The temperature now is 2x - 6.

The temperature now is 20 deg.

2x - 6 = 20

2x = 26

x = 13

Answer: The temperature six hours ago was 13 °F.
