Question 868795: Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 32 more than 9/5 times the temperature in degrees Celsius. One day the combined Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures 88 degrees. What were the temperatures in Celsius and Fahrenheit?

f + c = 88
c = 32 + 9/5c
32 + 9/5c + c = 88
32 + 14/5c = 88
14/5c = 56
c = 5*56/14
c = 20
