The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F.


F = 9 over 5C + 32


Which of the following formulas correctly solves for C?


C = 5F - 32 over 9


C = 5 F over 9 - 32


C = 9 over 5(F – 32)


C = 5 over 9(F – 32)

the initial equation is F = (9/5)C + 32. We are asked to get the formula to solve for C. So the idea here is to isolate C on the other side, where F is currently located. 

1. Subtract 32 on both sides. 
2. Divide 9/5 on both sides. 

You should get 
C = 5 over 9(F – 32) as your answer. 

Answer:

5 over 9 (F-32)
