On the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32°. On the Celsius scale, water freezes at 0°. The formula gives the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit when the temperature in degrees Celsius is known. Find a temperature when both are the same, let in the equation and solve .

Answer:

- 40 °C =  - 40 °F

Explanation:

Fahrenheit, Kelvin and Celsius are the different scales of temperature in which temperature is measured.

The conversion of T( °C) to T(F) is shown below:

T (°F) = (T (°C) × 9/5) + 32  

Thus, let the same temperature be x

So,

[tex]x=x\times \frac{9}{5}+32[/tex]

[tex]x-x\frac{9}{5}=+32[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{4}{5}x=32[/tex]

[tex]-4x=160[/tex]

[tex]x=-40[/tex]

Thus, the temperature at which both are same = - 40 °C =  - 40 °F
