Any ideas?

Nope Im Confused.

Use the idea of "balance" to become unconfused.

Whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must do the same to the other, get the idea? Like a weight balance.

Okay.
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
$$\Huge F = \frac{9}5 C + 32$$ $$\Huge F-32 = \frac{9}5 C + 32-32$$ $$\Huge F-32 = \frac{9}5 C $$

Can You Explain ?
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
I subtracted 32 from BOTH sides.
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
Now I will multiply BOTH sides by what?

$$\Huge \frac{5}9\cdot(F-32) =\frac{5}9 \cdot\frac{9}5 C $$ $$\Huge \frac{5}9\cdot(F-32) = C $$
