Answers
Substitute the 100 degrees F
100=9/5C+32
subtract 32 from each side
100-32=9/5C
68=9/5C
68x5/9=C
so
C=37.8
Is this OK. Can you see where you went wrong?

Using your equation F = (9/5) C + 32, which IS the correct equation,
100 = (9/5) C + 32
(9/5) C = 68
C = (5/9)*68 = 37.78 (or 37 7/9)
100 = (9/5) C + 32
(9/5) C = 68
C = (5/9)*68 = 37.78 (or 37 7/9)
