The formula for degrees Celsius is c= 5/9 (f-32) where f stands for farenheight. What equation would you use to show the formula solved correctly for f?

The answer choices are
F= 5/9c+32
F= 9/5c +32
F= 5/9c -32
F= 9/5c -32

Could you help @saifoo.khan or @lgbasallote ??
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
Sure @jrosesweet

So:
c= 5/9 (f-32)
We have to make "f" the subject.

In other words, we have to bring "f" on one side of the equation.
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
\[c= \frac59 (f-32) \]
Multiply both sides with 9,
\[9c = 5(f - 32)\]
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
Now, get rid of 5, by dividing 5 on both sides,
\[\frac95c=f-32\]I'm pretty sure you can take from here?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it's f= 9/5c -32 ?? @saifoo.khan
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
Not exactly.

When we were in Kindergarden we studied that when we switch sides, the terms change their signs? Do you remember? :)
