The equation for converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius is:
.

.
where C is the Celsius temperature in degrees and F is the Fahrenheit temperature in degrees.
.
You are give that F = 59. Substitute 59 for F in the equation to get:
.

.
Do the subtraction in the parentheses:
.

.
The 9 in the denominator divides into the 27 to give 3. Then multiply this 3 times
the 5 in the numerator to get an answer of 15.
.
So the answer is that 59 degrees F equals 15 degrees C.
.
And for your further information, to convert from Celsius degree to Fahrenheit the equation
is:
.

.
Hope this helps you with working conversions in temperature scales.
