Answer:

$Noon\ Temperature = 7F$

Explanation:

Given

Initial Temperature = -5F

Change (by noon) = 12 degrees

Required

Determine the temperature at noon

The temperature by noon is calculated as thus;

$Noon\ Temperature = Initial\ Temperature + Change$

Substitute values for Initial temperature and change

$Noon\ Temperature = -5F + 12$

$Noon\ Temperature = 7F$

Hence, the temperature at noon is 7F
