Answer 1

Well... You didn't specify whether or not it is Farenheight or Celsius, So im going to show both.

Farenheight:

-5 + 12 = 7

Because

... A simple breaking way to show it would be: 12-5=7 -5+5=0 0+7 = 7

Celsius:

Its the same :)

If you were going to convert it to Farenheight though:

-5 Celsius = 23* Farenheight.

12 Celsius = 53.6* Farenheight

23

+56.3

=-------

79.3

Hope this helped and I don't sound to nerdy

Answer 2

7 degrees (above zero)
