Question

The formula for degrees Celsius is: C = (F − 32), where F stands for degrees Fahrenheit.

Part 1: Solve the formula for F. Show all steps.
Part 2: Determine how many degrees Fahrenheit 2 degrees Celsius is.

Answer 1

i thought the formula for Celsius to fahrenheit was
(°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C

Answer 2

That's correct, @gaara438125

I have seen this same question before... it's hard to believe it got published with that error in it.

Answer 3

@jazy if only it were C = (F − 32) that would make things much easier

Answer 4

@Jlizk You have a couple of options... pretend like the question doesn't have a serious error in it, and solve it as written, or use @gaara438125's formula instead to solve the problem.

It's hard to guess which approach the answer key will use... :(

Answer 5

Why was I tagged?

Answer 6

Anyways,
Part 1) just add 32 to both sides of the equation to solve for F.
C = F − 32
C + 32 = F
So:
F = C + 32
-------------------------
Part 2) Use the formula from part 1 to solve this.
C = 2
So:

F = 2 + 32
F = 34

Therefore, 2 degrees Celsius = 34 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 7

@jazy i typed Ja and for some reason the site liked to register you lol, it was for jake sorry

Answer 8

Ohhh, lol okay. Its alright! (:

Its weird that they put the wrong formula for Fahrenheit. :/
