Question

How do I solve this? Please show the process

Answer 1

What I did. Ignore everything that isn't colored in yellow

Answer 2

The main objective is to isolate the variable 'c'

We would start doing that by subtracting by 32 on both sides. What do you get when you subtract by 32 on both sides?

Answer 3

Well, in your work you got that part correct. Your mistake comes when you divide by 9/5 on both sides.

Answer 4

\[f=\frac{ 9 }{ 5 }c+32\]
\[f-32 = \frac{ 9 }{ 5 }c\] that looks good

Answer 5

Dividing by 9/5 is the same thing as multiply by 5/9.

You should have done this:

\(\Large\frac{5}{9} \cdot \frac{9}{5}c = \frac{5}{9} (F-32)\)

And to simplify it, you need to use the distributive property which states: a(b-c) = ab - ac
