We have the following:


F=(9)/(5)C+32

1. F - 32 =9/5C


\begin{gathered} F-32=(9)/(5)C \\ F=(9)/(5)C+32 \end{gathered}

It's correct.

2. C = 9/5(F-32)


\begin{gathered} C=(9)/(5)\left(F-32\right) \\ (5)/(9)C=F-32 \\ F=(5)/(9)+32 \end{gathered}

It's not correct.

3. 9/5C- F = 32


\begin{gathered} (9)/(5)C-F=32 \\ F=(9)/(5)C-32 \end{gathered}

It's not correct.

4. C=5/9(F-32)


\begin{gathered} C=(5)/(9)\left(F-32\right) \\ (9)/(5)C=F-32 \\ F=(9)/(5)C+32 \end{gathered}

It's correct.

5. F+9/5C + 32 = 0


F=-(9)/(5)C-32

It's not correct.

The options corrects are F - 32 =9/5C and C=5/9(F-32)
