1. Problem Description

The problem asks at what temperature is the difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius equal to 50 degrees.

2. Solution Steps

Let FF be the temperature in Fahrenheit and CC be the temperature in Celsius.
We are given that FC=50F - C = 50.
We know the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is:
F=95C+32F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32
Now, we can substitute this formula into our equation:
95C+32C=50\frac{9}{5}C + 32 - C = 50
Combine the terms with CC:
95CC=5032\frac{9}{5}C - C = 50 - 32
95C55C=18\frac{9}{5}C - \frac{5}{5}C = 18
45C=18\frac{4}{5}C = 18
Multiply both sides by 54\frac{5}{4}:
C=1854C = 18 \cdot \frac{5}{4}
C=904C = \frac{90}{4}
C=452C = \frac{45}{2}
C=22.5C = 22.5
Now, we can find the Fahrenheit temperature:
F=95(22.5)+32F = \frac{9}{5}(22.5) + 32
F=95452+32F = \frac{9}{5} \cdot \frac{45}{2} + 32
F=992+32F = \frac{9 \cdot 9}{2} + 32
F=812+32F = \frac{81}{2} + 32
F=40.5+32F = 40.5 + 32
F=72.5F = 72.5
We can check if the difference is 50:
FC=72.522.5=50F - C = 72.5 - 22.5 = 50

3. Final Answer

The temperature is 22.5 degrees Celsius or 72.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
