To solve the problem of finding the current temperature, we start from the initial temperature and apply the change in temperature.
The initial temperature yesterday was \( 13 \) degrees Celsius. The temperature changed by \( -18.6 \) degrees overnight, which means it decreased by \( 18.6 \) degrees.
To find the current temperature, we subtract \( 18.6 \) degrees from \( 13 \) degrees:
\[
13 - 18.6 = -5.6
\]
Therefore, the current temperature is \(-5.6\) degrees Celsius.
Solve the following problem:
It was 13 degrees C yesterday, but the temperature changed by -18.6 degrees overnight.
What is the temperature now?
