Step-by-step explanation:

at noon x°F.

at midnight we had -7.2°F.

-7.2 = x - 23.8

x = -7.2 + 23.8 = 16.6°F

Answer 2

Considering the temperature at midnight, it is found that the temperature at noon was of 16.6ºF.

What was the temperature at noon.

Between noon and midnight, the temperature went down by 23.8°F, meaning that the temperature at noon is the midnight's temperature if -7.2 ºF added to 23.8 ºF, hence:

-7.2 + 23.8 = 16.6ºF.

The temperature at noon was of 16.6ºF.
