is this how the problem was written because that isn't the formula for C...it is missing a number

anonymous · Answer

yes this is how it is written

anonymous · Answer

my bad i did miss the 5/9

anonymous · Answer

well we will go with what you have then.   to solve for F you isolate F by subtracting 32. what do you get?

anonymous · Answer

ok i missed that up there.   yes 5/9 was missing from it. so it's C=5/9(F-32)  you would basically do the same, -32 from both sides and muliply by 9/5 and get your answer! what do you get?
