the tempature dropped 8 degrees between 6:00 p.m. and midnight. The tempature at midnight was 26 degreesF. Write and solve an equation to find the tempature at 6:00 p.m.

Since it dropped 8 degrees, we actually need to add. So, just do 26+8 which is 34. The temperature at 6:00 PM was 34 degrees. I hope this helped!
