tion 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?
Equation: -20 = t + 8 or t = -20 + -8 (t represents the temperature at midnight).
Using the second equation given, add the two numbers together. Since adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive, subtract 20 from 8 and make it negative. The answer is -28.
