0. We are looking for a temperature $T$ such that $K - F = 50$, where $K$ is the temperature in Kelvin and $F$ is the temperature in Fahrenheit.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to express KK and FF in terms of Celsius, CC.
The conversion from Celsius to Kelvin is:
K=C+273.15K = C + 273.15
The conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit is:
F=95C+32F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32
Now, we can substitute these expressions into the equation KF=50K - F = 50:
(C+273.15)(95C+32)=50(C + 273.15) - (\frac{9}{5}C + 32) = 50
C+273.1595C32=50C + 273.15 - \frac{9}{5}C - 32 = 50
C95C=50+32273.15C - \frac{9}{5}C = 50 + 32 - 273.15
45C=82273.15-\frac{4}{5}C = 82 - 273.15
45C=191.15-\frac{4}{5}C = -191.15
C=54191.15C = \frac{5}{4} \cdot 191.15
C=238.9375C = 238.9375
Now we convert CC to KK and FF.
K=C+273.15=238.9375+273.15=512.0875K = C + 273.15 = 238.9375 + 273.15 = 512.0875
F=95C+32=95(238.9375)+32=430.0875+32=462.0875F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 = \frac{9}{5}(238.9375) + 32 = 430.0875 + 32 = 462.0875
We check if KF=50K - F = 50.
512.0875462.0875=50512.0875 - 462.0875 = 50
The Celsius temperature is 238.9375238.9375, which gives K=512.0875K = 512.0875 and F=462.0875F = 462.0875. We are looking for the temperature in Fahrenheit or Kelvin, so we found two possible answers. Usually the convention would be to find the temperature in Fahrenheit. We will round the values to one decimal place.

3. Final Answer

The temperature in Kelvin is approximately 512.1512.1 K.
The temperature in Fahrenheit is approximately 462.1462.1 F.
We can express our answer as:
At approximately 462.1 degrees Fahrenheit (or 512.1 Kelvin) the difference between the Kelvin and Fahrenheit temperatures is
5

0. Final Answer: 462.1 degrees Fahrenheit.
