The temperature at dawn one day is 6ºC warmer than the temperature at midnight that same day. The temperature at dawn is also twice as far away from 0ºC as the temperature at midnight. What were the two temperatures?

At midnight it was 2 degrees Celsius because 2 twice as far away from zero would be 2. Which mean 6+2 is 8 so at dawn, it was 8 degrees Celsius.
