The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F:

C = 5 over 9(F − 32)

Which of the following formulas correctly solves for F?

F = 9 over 5C + 32
F = 9 over 5C − 32
F = 9C + 32 over 5
F = 9C − 32 over 5

f= (5 over 9c )+32
you make f subject of the formula by multiplying both sides by 9(f-32) that will give the following expresion 9c(f-32)= 5 then you divide both sides by 9c from there you will add 32 to both sides to leave your expression if the form of f
