A person taking a reading of the temperature in a freezer in Celsius makes two mistakes: first omitting
the negative sign and then thinking the temperature is Fahrenheit. That is, the person reads -x°C as
X°F. Oddly enough, the result is the correct Fahrenheit temperature. What is the original Celsius reading?
Round your answer to three significant figures.
