F = (9/5)C + 32 ... start with the celsius to fahrenheit formula

F = (9/5)(-60) + 32 ... plug in C = -60, then evaluate/simplify

F = (9/5)(-60/1) + 32

F = (9*(-60))/(5*1) + 32

F = (-540)/(5) + 32

F = -108 + 32

F = -76

As for the explanations, you're simply following PEMDAS (the order of operations) after you replace C with -60.
