Answer 1

Answer:

$C = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

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

Required

Find C when $F = 41$

We have:

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

Substitute 41 for F

$41 = \frac{9}{5}C + 32$

Collect like terms

$\frac{9}{5}C = 41- 32$

$\frac{9}{5}C = 9$

Multiply both sides by 5/9

$C = 9 * \frac{5}{9}$

$C = 5$
