Hi Julie. For the reader's benefit, since this is not a math book, I think it would be a better decision to follow EBAE's suggestions here. I would braille
1. Subtract 192°F from 212°F:
just as it appears in print, followed by a transcriber's note (in 7-5) saying something like this:
212ºF (boiling point of water at sea level) minus 192ºF (boiling point of water at your altitude) equals 20ºF (temperature difference)
using literary braille rules throughout.
