A. First step is to multiply by 9 on each side.

B. First step is to add 32 to both sides.

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

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

E. Solution: 5/9F - 32 = C

F. To solve this equation for C, you would have to distribute at some point.

Answer 1

To solve the Celsius to Fahrenheit formula F=9/5C+32 for C, you would need to follow the steps in the correct order.

Based on the given formula, the correct steps are as follows:

1. First step is to subtract 32 from both sides: F - 32 = 9/5C (B)
2. The next step could be to multiply both sides by 5: 5(F - 32) = 9C (C)
3. The next step could be to divide both sides by 9: (5/9)(F - 32) = C (D)

So, the correct answers are B, C, and D.

The solution for C is (5/9)(F - 32) as shown in option D. Option E is incorrect because it is the inverse of the formula. Option F is also incorrect because distributing is not necessary in solving this formula.
