Question

Given the formula, solve for the indicated variable.
F=9/5c + 32 for c

Answer 1

F =
`(9)/(5)`c + 32 Subtract 32 from both sides
F - 32 =
`(9)/(5)`c Mutliply both sides by
`(5)/(9)` to cancel out the fraction

`(5)/(9)`F - 17
`(7)/(9)` = c Switch the sides to make it easier to read
c =
`(5)/(9)`F - 17
`(7)/(9)`
