I think It's -40, but I'm not sure.

You are correct, but here's the math:
degF = (9/5)*degC + 32
Since you want both equal, we'll define variable x and substitute degF=degC=x:
x = (9/5)*x + 32
(9/5)*x - x = -32
(4/5)*x = -32
4x = -160
x = -40

It's -40.
F = 9/5 C + 32 or C = 5/9 (F-32)

There is only one temperature that is the same reading on both the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales: -40 degrees.
No other temperatures have the same reading on both scales - not boiling or freezing points of water, not room temperature, not even the coldest temperature possible.

There is no number that means the same. Celsius is from the metric system. 32 degrees F is freezing and 0 degrees Celsius is freezing. That is the same. 100 degrees Celsius is boiling point.

Zero degrees Fharenheit, and 32 degrees celsius is FREEZING.

Correct, -40C is the same as -40F
