Answer: It was -21°F at midnight.
Explanation:
I got -21°F as the answer because I took the negative sign out of the -12 and made it 12. So, 12 + 9 = 21. Then I added the negative sign back in and got -21°F.
If this helped you let me know. If not, I will improve and make sure my work is correct. Have a good evening!
