A metal stays solid at fahrenheit temperatures below 1710.5 Determine (in terms of an inequakity) thoses celsius temperatures for which the metal stays solid. Use the formula F=9/5 C + 32.

Question

A metal stays solid  at fahrenheit temperatures below 1710.5 Determine (in terms of an inequakity) thoses celsius temperatures for which the metal stays solid. Use the formula F=9/5 C + 32.
The solution set is {C< __ fahrenheit} 1710.
Round to the nearest tenth.

Reiny · Answer

they gave you the equation. just sub in 1710.5 for F and solve (9/5)C + 32 = 1710.5 etc (hope you get 932.5)
