first multiply both sides by 9/5 to get:

9/5C= F -32

Add 32 to both sides and transpose to get:

F=9/5C + 32

these are the formulas to translate between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures

Fahrenheit and Celsius meet at - 40 degrees

that is - 40 Fahrenheit = - 40 Celsius

So alternitive formulas for the conversations can be written:

F=9/5 (C+40) - 40

C=5/9 (F+40) - 40

Answer:

Explanation:

It is solved for C unless you C = 5/9 * F - 32*5/9

C = 5/9F - 17.8

=================

If you mean F, then Multiply both sides by 9/5

9/5 * C = F - 32

9/5 * C + 32 = F

=====================

A quick way to do this is to multiply by 2 and add 32

F = 2*C + 30

My wife, an American, always had to do this when she heard the daily temperatures in Canada.
