haha silly me, hence if i use T(c) as 8.6 then i get T(H) as 579.65 which I can understand because it gets quite hot down there, but would that be correct?

The average rate at which energy is conducted outward through the ground surface in a certain region is 63.7 mW/m2, and the average thermal conductivity of the near-surface rocks is 3.96 W/m·K. Assuming a surface temperature of 8.70°C, find the temperature (in Celsius) at a depth of 35.0 km...
