You will be defining a new temperature scale in 0X, in which the freezing and boiling points of water are one-hundred forty degrees X and one-thousand eighty-five 0X, respectively. Correlate this to Celsius or Fahrenheit scales. The 0X reading on this scale is a certain number of degrees on a corresponding absolute temperature scale. What is the corresponding absolute temperature at 00X?
