Question

We can convert temperatures from the degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius using the formula C=5/9(F-32). Where C is the temperature in degrees Celsius and F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. How do you write a formula to solve for F.

Answer 1

(9/5)C+32 = F

Explanation:

1. multiply both sides by 9/5

(9/5)C = F - 32

2. Add 32 to both sides

(9/5)C + 32 = F
