Answer:

12 - 12

Explanation:

Given

Initial Temperature (at 12 midnight) = 12 deg C

By 6am; Temperature has decreased by 12 deg C

Required

What expression represents the situation

Provided that there was a decrement in the temperature; the system will b represented by Initial Temperature minus Change in temperature

Expression = Initial Temperature - Change in Temperature

Expression = 12C - 12C

Solving further to get the actual temperature at 6

Final Temperature = 12C - 12C

Final Temperature = 0 C
