Question

Solve the equation F= 9/5C + 32 for c

Put the steps in correct order
5(F-32) = 9C
F-32 = 9/5C
5/9(F-32)=C

Answer 1

1.
`F - 32 = (9)/(5)C`

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

3.
`(5)/(9)(F - 32) = C`

Explanation:

Given:

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

Required:

Solve for C

Solution:

In order to solve C, we need to isolate C in[ tex] F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 [/tex] by following the steps below:

Step 1: subtract 32 from each side

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

Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 5

`5(F - 32) = 9C`

Step 3: Divide both sides by 9

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