tricky question

?) Tuesday's high temperature was 4 degrees Celsius warmer than that of Monday's. Wednesday's high temperature was 6 degrees Celsius cooler than that of Monday's. If Tuesday's high temperature was 22 degrees Celsius, what was Wednesday's high temperature?
12
Tue = Mon + 4
Wed = Mon - 6
if Tue = 22 => 22 = Mon + 4 => Mon = 18
i.e. Wed = 18 - 6 = 12
Mon = x
Tue = X+4 = 22
Wed = x-6
X = 22-4 = 18
Wed = x-6 = 18-6 = 12
12 Deg. Cel was the high temp on Wed
I had it all wrong: Tuesday is x + 4 = 22
x = 18, that's Monday's temp.
18 - 6 = 12, that's Wednesday.
Monday = 16, Wednesday = 10.
16
