To solve this equation for C, you would have to distribute at some point.
To solve this equation for C, you would have to distribute at some point.
The next step from F - 32 = 9/5 C, could be to multiply both sides by 5
The next step from F - 32 = 9/5 C, could be to multiply both sides by 5
Solution: 5/9F - 32 = C
Solution: 5/9F - 32 = C
First step is to add 32 to both sides.
First step is to add 32 to both sides.
First step is to multiply by 9 on each side.
First step is to multiply by 9 on each side.
Actually, the correct first step is to subtract 32 from both sides of the equation, not multiply by 9. So the correct steps to solve the formula for C are:
1. Start with the equation F = 9/5C + 32.
2. Subtract 32 from both sides: F - 32 = 9/5C.
3. Simplify the right side by multiplying 9/5 by C: F - 32 = 9C/5.
4. To isolate C, multiply both sides by 5/9: (5/9)(F - 32) = C.
Therefore, the correct solution is C = (5/9)(F - 32).
