Question

The Formula for degrees in Celsius is: C = 5/9 (f-32)
Where F stands for degrees Fahrenheit.
Please help me learn the steps to solve for f and Determine how many degrees Fahrenheit 20 degrees Celsius is.

Answer 1

you need to manipulate the equation to get the formula for degrees in Fahrenheit.

so:

from: C = 5/9(F-32)
(times both sides by the inverse of 5/9 (which is 9/5), this will cancel out the right 5/9)

C x 9/5 = F - 32

Now just add 32 to both sides to get rid of the -32 on the right and you will have:

C x 9/5 + 32 = F

Now just plug in 20 degrees into the C for Celsius and solve for Fahrenheit :)
