To solve this equation for C, you would have to distribute at some point.
First step is to multiply by 9 on each side.
.
First step is to add 32 to both sides.
Solution: 5/9F - 32 = C
The next step from F - 32 = 9/5 C, could be to multiply both sides by 5
No, that is not the correct next step. The correct next step would be to multiply both sides by 5/9 to isolate C.
To solve the Celsius to Fahrenheit formula F = 9/5C + 32 for C, follow these steps:
1. Start with the equation: F = 9/5C + 32.
2. Subtract 32 from both sides of the equation to isolate 9/5C:
F - 32 = 9/5C.
3. To get C alone, divide both sides of the equation by 9/5:
(F - 32) / (9/5) = C.
4. Simplify the right side of the equation by dividing a fraction by a fraction:
(F - 32) * (5/9) = C.
5. Distribute the (5/9) to both terms on the left side of the equation:
(5F - 160) / 9 = C.
Therefore, the solution for C is: C = (5F - 160) / 9.
To check all answers that are true, substitute different values for F and calculate C using the equation.
