Solve the following problem:

Question

It was 13°C yesterday, but the temperature changed by −18.6° overnight. What is the temperature now?(1 point

Answer 1

To find the current temperature, you need to subtract the change in temperature from the temperature yesterday.

Starting temperature: 13°C
Change in temperature: -18.6°C

Current temperature = Starting temperature + Change in temperature
Current temperature = 13°C + (-18.6°C)
Current temperature = 13°C - 18.6°C
Current temperature = -5.6°C

Therefore, the current temperature is -5.6°C.
