Question

- The C and F scales are equivalent at only one temperature. That is, X C = X F. use the relationships for temperature conversions to derive that temperature. This problem does not ask you to substitute the temperature that you may already know into the formulas; however, to use the formulas you know to arrive at the temperature as your final answer. No credit will be given to answers that merely just substitute the formula into the equation or use trial and error to arrive at the temperature.
