The equation you listed is the relationship between a Fahrenheit temperature, represented by "F," and the corresponding Celsius (or centigrade) temperature, "C."
C = 5(F-32)/9
We want to find the value where F and C are the same -- in other words, F=C. But since F=C, any place we see the C variable, we can replace it with (or "substitute") the F. That gives us:
F = 5(F-32)/9
Now we just have to solve this for F. We start by multiplying both sides by 9:
9F = 5(F-32)
Using the distributive property on the right-hand side,
9F = 5F - 160
Subtracting 5F from both sides gives
4F = -160
And, finally, we divide both sides by 4:
F = -40
And since C = F, C = -40, too.
Let's test our answer. The original equation was:
C = 5(F-32)/9
If we evaluate this equation when C = -40 and F = -40, do we get a true statement? Let's find out:
-40 = 5(-40-32)/9
We simplify inside the parentheses first: -40-32 = -72
-40 = 5(-72)/9
Next, 5*(-72) = -360
-40 = -360/9
And -360/9 = -40
-40 = -40
That's certainly a true statement, which means we found a correct solution.
Hope that helps!

hey its more of a quiz question & it has become very common
we generally use tis formula,and coz the temp is same in celcius as well as farenheit we can replace c by f or vice versa
(f-32) = 9c/5
f-32= 9f/5
-32= 9f/5 - 5f/5
-32= 4f/5
-32*(5/4)=f
-40=f
