Question 934021: The Formula F=1.8C+32 gives the temperature in degrees Celsius (C). There is one temperature for which number of degrees Fahrenheit is equal to the number of degrees Celsius. Complete the equation you can solve to find that temperature and then use it to find the temperature. Use the variable C represent the number of degrees Celsius where degrees Fahrenheit and degree Celsius are the same.
The Equation is ___=___+___.
The temperature for which the number of degrees Fahrenheit is equal to the number of degrees Celsius is ______ Celsius. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+F+=+1.8C+%2B+32+
This is the equation you have provided.
The information you have also provided tells us that C also represents the number of degrees in Celsius where degrees Fahrenheit and degree Celsius are the same.
Based on that information we can assume an equation such as:
+C+=+F+
Since the statement provided tells us that degree Fahrenheit and degree Celsius are the same. Because of the assumption, we can substitute C in for F and begin solving.
+F+=+1.8F+%2B+32+
+F+-+1.8F+=+1.8F+-+1.8F+%2B+32+ Subtraction Property of Equality
+-0.8F+=+32+ Combine Like Terms
+-0.8F%2F-0.8+=+32%2F-0.8+ Division Property of Equality
+F+=+-40+
