Question

An equation that shows the relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures is F=9/5c+32, where F represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and C represents the temperature in degrees Celsius.
Solve this equation for C in terms of F

Answer 1

F=9/5C+32   Original equation
F-32=9/5C  (subtract 32 from both sides)
5/9(F-32)=C  (multiply both sides by 5/9, the reciprocal of 9/5)
C=5/9(F-32)
