The correct option is A) 32. The formula for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit is °F = (1.8 × °C) + 32.

– The standard formula for temperature conversion from Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F) is °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32.
– Since 9/5 is equal to 1.8, the formula can be written as °F = (1.8 × °C) + 32.
– The given formula is °F = X + (1.8 × °C).
– Comparing the standard formula with the given formula, we can see that X must be 32.

The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales have different reference points and different increments per degree. The freezing point of water is 0°C or 32°F. The boiling point of water is 100°C or 212°F. The factor 1.8 (or 9/5) accounts for the different degree sizes, and the factor 32 accounts for the different zero points. The inverse formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius is °C = (°F – 32) / 1.8 or °C = (°F – 32) × 5/9.
