At what temperature in degrees are Centigrade and Fahrenheit equal?
Correct answer: -40 degrees

This way seems simpler to me.
(-40)F - 32 = (-72)
(-72) / 9 = (-8)
(-8) x 5 = (-40)C
and
(-40)C x 9 = (-360)
(-360) / 5 = (-72)
(-72) + 32 = (-40)F

Sorry, Mr Coleman, but you got the second equation (sixth line) messed up. The two equations—that are really just a rearrangement of the variables—are
1: °F=°C*9/5+32, and
2: °C=(°F-32)*5/9
Substituting -40 for °C in the first, and for °F in the second, will give °F=-40, and °C=-40, respectively.
Working out this solution for oneself should be straightforward. Start off with setting °C=°F, or °F=°C, replace the right hand side with the respective equivalent from the above equations, and solve for the variable. For example, use
°F=(°F-32)*5/9
and then solve for °F.

if you're in that kind of temperature, I'm sure that this is the first thing you want to know. Oops, lost another toe, but what is the other temperature?
