Math Problem Statement

F=9/5c+32;c

Solution

The given equation is:

F=95c+32F = \frac{9}{5}c + 32

This is the formula for converting a temperature from Celsius (cc) to Fahrenheit (FF). You are looking to solve for cc. To do this, we'll rearrange the equation to isolate cc.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Start with the given equation:

    F=95c+32F = \frac{9}{5}c + 32

  2. Subtract 32 from both sides:

    F32=95cF - 32 = \frac{9}{5}c

  3. Multiply both sides by 59\frac{5}{9} to isolate cc:

    c=59(F32)c = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32)

Final Equation:

c=59(F32)c = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32)

This equation allows you to convert a temperature from Fahrenheit back to Celsius.
