[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The solution to the problem 5(t−2)=−10 is t = 0.

In the context of the problem, this means that the current temperature is 0°F. This is because the equation states that five times the temperature at midnight, decreased by two, equals -10°F.

So, if we substitute t = 0 into the equation, we get 5(0−2) =−10, which simplifies to -10 = -10. This verifies that the solution t = 0 is correct. Therefore, the current temperature is 0°F.
