Solve this system of equations by substitution F=1.8C+32 F=C You can use the first equation in part a to convert a temperature in degrees Celsius (C) to a temperature in degrees Fahreneit (F). Explain what the solution of the system of equations represents

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Are you sure $$F=C$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what the problem said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.8c=32...c=-32/.8

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Think about it... how can F=C and F=1.8C+32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what the frickin problem said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c=-40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f=-40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

based on what she said, then it would be: \[C = 1.8C + 32\] but it does not seem to make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not it is just solving only..that is answer

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

What the question is asking is where do the Celsius (C) and Fahrenheit (F) scales of temperature measurement give the same value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm well, @basa he gave his answer and it was -40. so conluding from that the Celsius (C) and Fahrenheit (F) scales of temperature measurement give the same value @ -40

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

But does @overtonka understand the solution?
