The current temperature is -8∘F

The current temperature after rising by 12 degrees Fahrenheit from an initial temperature of -20 degrees Fahrenheit can be expressed using an arithmetic expression.

Let T represent the current temperature;

Given that the temperature started at -20 degrees Fahrenheit and then rose by 12 degrees, the expression for the current temperature is:

T = -20 + 12

add the values

T = -8∘F
