quick qst. fahrenheit

Fahrenheit (F) .. F=9/5C+32

Celcius (C)


How do I calculate the temperature at which Fahrenheit and Celcius are the same?

I rearranged Fahrenheit so that it is C= instead but had no luck getting the answer.

thanks

Ah right... Try letting F = C ... (If I'm getting your drift.)

I substituted both F and C for x, so that the equation became x = 9/5x + 32. Then I transposed and solved for x, to get -40.

Edit: http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/images/fahrenheit_celsius.gif Lol this proves my answer, I had to make sure by searching google :P

yep, cheers mates. i get ya jackinthepatch, just let F and C= x, then solve instead of rearranging the everything.


THANKS!!!

Well we're doing core at the moment in class. So the whole histogram and box plots thing lol, nice and easy.
We've got networks, matrices, and business maths coming up though.
