I think it can only be A or B

phi · Answer

the formula is
$$ F= \frac{9}{5} C + 32 $$
if both F and C are the same number, then you have
$$ x= \frac{9}{5} x + 32 $$

phi · Answer

I would add -x  (or -5x/5  if you like) to both sides
as the first step in "solving for x"

This question is very strangely worded.

There are MANY places where it CAN be equal.

There is only one TEMPERATURE where the scales are equal (as shown above)

However - this temperature is possible in many (admittedly COLD) places on earth
