Question

13. The Celsius to Fahrenheit formula: F = 9/5C + 32
Solve this formula for C. Check all answers that are true.
I First step is to add 32 to both sides.
• First step is to multiply by 9 on each side.
• The next step from F - 32 = 9/5 C, could be to multiply both sides by 5
• The next step from F - 32 = 9/5 C, could be to divide both sides by 5
•To solve this equation for C, you would have to distribute at some point.

Answer 1

Chose all the answers that are correct

Answer 2

The correct steps to solve the equation F = 9/5C + 32 for C are as follows:

1. First step is to subtract 32 from both sides to isolate the 9/5C term:
F - 32 = 9/5C

2. The next step is to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 9/5, which is 5/9:
(5/9)(F - 32) = (5/9)(9/5)C
(5/9)(F - 32) = C

3. Therefore, the true answer is: The next step from F - 32 = 9/5 C, could be to multiply both sides by 5/9.

Answer 3

- The next step from F - 32 = 9/5 C, could be to multiply both sides by 5
- The next step from F - 32 = 9/5 C, could be to divide both sides by 5

Both of these steps are correct and would lead to the solution of the equation.
