The formulas for converting between degree Celsius and degree Fahrenheit are:
F = (C * 9/5) + 32
C = (F - 32) * 5/9
To find the temperature when both are equal, we use an old algebra trick and just set F = C and solve one of the equations.
C = (C * 9/5) + 32
C - (C * 9/5) = 32
-4/5 * C = 32
C = -32 * 5/4
C = -40
F = (F * 9/5) + 32
F - (F * 9/5) = 32
-4/5 * F = 32
F = -32 * 5/4
F = -40
So the temperature when both the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are the same is -40 degrees.
I really hope this wasn't your home work...

-40°. (-40°F -32) / a million.8 = -40°C. (-40°F -32 = -seventy two and, -seventy two / a million.8) = -40°C) (-40°C x a million.8) + 32 = -40°F. (we could call it -40°Centiheit or Fahrengrade !) And, to all of the gents who've a grudge, i do no longer % your thumbs the two up or down. i know while my solutions are maximum remarkable.

The temp that is the same for both F and C is -40 degrees.
