Work this just like any other algebra problem, get F by itself then plug in your 20 degrees and solve.

idk how to do that tho,

espex · Answer

$$C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)$$ So you start by dividing both sides by 5/9, which is really just multiplying by 9/5.$$\frac{9}{5}C=F-32$$ Next you add 32 to both sides, leaving F by itself.$$\frac{9}{5}C+32=F$$
