Question

Given F= 9/5C+32, the conversion formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius, solve for C

Answer 1

Answer:

The required equation is $C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.  

$F= \frac{9}{5}C+32$

Solve the formula for C.

Subtract 32 from both sides.

$F-32= \frac{9}{5}C+32-32$

$F-32= \frac{9}{5}C$

Multiply both the sides by 5/9.

$\frac{5}{9}(F-32)= \frac{9}{5}C\times \frac{5}{9}$

$C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)$

Hence the required equation is $C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)$

Answer 2

What do you want to solve for? Substitute in c to find F. To solve for C, 

F - 32 = 9/5(c) 

C = 5/9(F - 32)
