Question

Solve the equation F= 9/5C + 32 for c

Answer 1

Answer:

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

2. $5(F - 32) = 9C$

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

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

Required:

Solve for C

Solution:

In order to solve C, we need to isolate C in[ tex] F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 [/tex] by following the steps below:

Step 1: subtract 32 from each side

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

Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 5

$5(F - 32) = 9C$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 9

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