could someone please help me with this...
Solve for F: C=5/9(F-32)
distribute the 5/9 into the parenthesis then get F to the other side of the equal sign alone. a calculator would help alot
F = [C*(9/5)]+32
i know thatsth right answer cause the teacher saidit was..and thank you for verifying that its correct but i don't see how you got the answer...
C=5/9(F-32)
multiply by 9
9C = 5(F-32)
9C = 5F - 160
9C + 160 = 5F
5F = 9C + 160
F + (9/5)C + 32
Just a small typo in the last post. Instead of
F + (9/5)C + 32
Change F + (9/5)C + 32 to
F = (9/5)C + 32.
Of course, I'm here to help you with that! The equation you provided is used to convert temperature from Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C). To solve for F, we'll follow a few steps.
Step 1: Distribute 5/9 to the expression inside the parentheses:
C = 5/9 * F - 5/9 * 32
Simplifying:
C = 5/9 * F - 160/9
Step 2: Move the constant term (-160/9) to the other side of the equation to isolate the F term:
C + 160/9 = 5/9 * F
Step 3: To get F by itself, we need to get rid of the fraction. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9/5:
(9/5)(C + 160/9) = F
Expanding and simplifying:
(9/5)C + (9/5)(160/9) = F
(9/5)C + 32 = F
This gives us the solution for F in terms of C. Therefore, to convert temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the equation F = (9/5)C + 32.
