Solved by EES Software. Solutions can be verified by copying-and-pasting the following lines on a blank EES screen. 
T_inC=20 "C"
T_inR=T_inC*1.8 "R"
"Some Wrong Solutions with Common Mistakes:"
W1_TinF=T_inC "F, setting C and F equal to each other" 
W2_TinF=T_inC*1.8+32 "F, converting to F "
W3_TinK=1.8*T_inC "K, wrong conversion from C to K"
W4_TinK=T_inC+273 "K, converting to K"
