Hello Mia, I'd be happy to help!

Based on the information given, we know that the temperature at midnight is represented by the variable "t". We also know that the temperature rose 8°C from midnight to 6:00 am. Therefore, we can set up the equation:

t + 8 = -20

To solve for t, we want to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides:

t + 8 - 8 = -20 - 8

Simplifying this, we get:

t = -28°C

Therefore, the temperature at midnight was -28°C.
