At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit the same?

The formulas for converting between degree Celsius and degree Fahrenheit are:

°F = (°C * 9/5) + 32 °C = (°F - 32) * 5/9

To find the temperature when both are equal, we use an old algebra trick and just set ºF = ºC and solve one of the equations.

°C = (°C * 9/5) + 32 °C - (°C * 9/5) = 32 -4/5 * °C = 32 °C = -32 * 5/4 °C = -40

°F = (°F * 9/5) + 32 °F - (°F * 9/5) = 32 -4/5 * °F = 32 °F = -32 * 5/4 °F = -40

So the temperature when both the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are the same is -40 degrees.
