To solve the Celsius to Fahrenheit formula for C, you would need to use the steps mentioned in the responses.
First, you would start with the equation F = (9/5)C + 32.
To isolate C, the first step would be to subtract 32 from both sides:
F - 32 = (9/5)C.
Next, to further isolate C, you could divide both sides by 9/5:
(F - 32) / (9/5) = C.
Simplifying this expression by multiplying by 5/9:
[(F - 32) / (9/5)] x (5/9) = C.
This simplifies to:
[(F - 32) x 5] / 9 = C.
So, the correct solution for C is [(F - 32) x 5] / 9.
The Celsius to Fahrenheit formula: F=9/5C+32

First step is to multiply by 9 on each side.
First step is to add 32 to both sides.
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
Solution: 5/9F - 32 = C
To solve this equation for C, you would have to distribute at some point.
