Question

f=9/5 C + 32 solve for fahrenheit

Answer 1

It's done.

Answer 2

have you tried?

Answer 3

lol @mathstudent55

Answer 4

Bianca, the equation is already solved in terms of Fahrenheit.
Do you have a specific Celcius that you need to plug in?

Answer 5

Isn't it already solved for \(Fº\)?

Answer 7

yes
it is a manipulating literal equation

Answer 8

Can Anyone please explain me how to derive the formula :-

f=9/5 C + 32

Answer 9

You need to ask your questions in another thread @goformit100 not post a questions within someone else's question.

Answer 10

@goformit100 There is no "derivation" of this formula it is just used for conversion between scales.

Answer 11

@Preetha is there derivation" of this formula ??

Answer 12

in mean this is the problem theres a degree in f so 'f=9/5'c+32

Answer 13

Ok HELP HERE... http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/520475cbe4b01dab337024fd for the derivation

Answer 14

@ailabianca it looks like you need to learn more about Solving Literal Equations.

Basically, it is an application of the order of operations, but in reverse. You are looking to move things around until you isolate the goal.

\(x=\dfrac{y}{2}+5\) solve for y.

Normally, division happens first and addition last, but you are undoing things, so you cancel the addition first with a subtraction:

\(x-5=\dfrac{y}{2}+5-5 \implies x-5=\dfrac{y}{2}\)

Now you need to multiply through by 2.

\((x-5)\cdot 2=\dfrac{y}{2}\cdot 2\implies 2x-10=y\)

Your question would work the same way, but it is already solved for F.

Answer 15

Every term is in degrees:
\(F^{\circ}=9/5 C^{\circ} + 32^{\circ}\)

Answer 17

thank you

Answer 18

np. They just leave off the degrees most times because it is understood.

Answer 19

Remember to close things when you are done. \(\large\ddot \smile\)

Answer 20

x=A(B+C) solve for c

Answer 21

OK.... so, remember what I said about you have to undo things in reverse order from normal order of operations? So what do you need to get rid of first from near C?
