Question 31917: Temperature-F and C scales. Both these scales are linear---is there any point when F = C? What would it be and how did you find it? Answer by mukhopadhyay(490) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the formula C/5=(F-32)/9
If there is a point when F=C, say = x
x/5=(x-32)/9
=>9x = 5(x-32)
=>9x = 5x-160
=>4x=-160
=>x=-40
The answer is -40; meaning: -40 degree F = -40 degree C
