(a)$$ C = \dfrac {5}{9} (F - 32) \rightarrow F - 32 = \dfrac {9}{5}C \rightarrow \boxed {F = \dfrac {9}{5}C + 32}. $$(b) $$ F = \dfrac {9}{5} \cdot 8 + 32 = \dfrac {72}{5} + 32 = 14.4 + 32 = \boxed {46.4}. $$(In degrees Fahrenheit.)

The first thing I did is divide the fraction (5/9) to both sides 
C=(5/9)*(F-32)
     (5/9)  (5/9)
-------------------
C*(9/5) = F-32 
Then I added 32 to the problem:  
C*(9/5) + 32 = F 
For part 2 I just plugged in any value for C to get my value of F.
[(2)*9/5] + 32 = F 
3.6+ 32 = F 
35.6 = F
Is this right
