Answer 1

Answer:

The temperature at midnight is -12 degree Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Temperature at 6:00 PM = -20 degree Celsius

Let the temperature at midnight be X degree Celsius

From midnight to 6:00 am, the temperature rose by 8 degree Celsius

X - (-20) = 8

X = 8-20

X = -12 degree Celsius.

The temperature at midnight is -12 degree Celsius.
