To solve for C let us do these steps

1. Put the term of C on one side and the other terms on the other side

Subtract 32 from both sides to move the term 32 to the other side

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

2. Make the coefficient of C = 1

Divide both sides by 9/5

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

You can Multiply the bracket (F- 32) by 5/9
