Answer: 17 degrees (choice A)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

How I got that answer:

Replace F with 62, then isolate C (in other words, solve for C). The idea is to follow PEMDAS in reverse to isolate C. So we undo the addition first and then undo the multiplication next.

F = (9/5)*C + 32

62 = 1.8*C + 32 ................ replace F with 62

62-32 = 1.8*C+32-32 ..... subtract 32 from both sides to undo addition

30 = 1.8*C

1.8*C = 30

1.8*C/1.8 = 30/1.8 ....... divide both sides by 1.8 to undo multiplication

C = 16.67

C = 17 degrees

The answer is approximate
