The temperature on a winter night was -23 °F. The temperature rose by 5 °F when the sun came up. When the sun set again, the temperature dropped by 7 °F. Write and evaluate an expression to find the temperature after the sun set.

Winter night then the temp rose
-23 + 5 = -18
But when sunsets, the temperature drops
-18 + (-7) = -25
