Hello! ghost!

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Heyo :)

OpenStudy (itrymath):

you're a mathlete congrats!!!

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Oh thank you :)

@mathmate

OpenStudy (itrymath):

I think the answer is A

OpenStudy (sshayer):

\[-30<c<130\] \[Replace ~c~by~\frac{ 5 }{ 9 }\left( F-32 \right)\] and then solve for F

OpenStudy (itrymath):

what do you mean replace C by 5 over 9

OpenStudy (sshayer):

for this first multiply each inequality by 9

OpenStudy (mathmate):

An easy way is to do the inverse transformation. C=5/9*(F-32) multiply both sides by 9/5 (9/5)C=F-32 F=32+(9/5)C Example for the first option: C=-30 F=32+(9/5)(-30)=32-54=-22 which matches the second inequality. So continue this way to find the right answer.

OpenStudy (sshayer):

then divide each by 5

OpenStudy (itrymath):

and do the same for 130

OpenStudy (sshayer):

Lastly add 32 to each

OpenStudy (itrymath):

what??

OpenStudy (itrymath):

how did we get 9/5C + 32 when it was - 32

OpenStudy (sshayer):

-270<5(F-32)<1170 divide by 5 -54<F-32<234 add 32 to each -22<F<266

OpenStudy (itrymath):

5(f-32) ???

OpenStudy (itrymath):

you mean 9/5 ?

OpenStudy (sshayer):

see my first posting ,then step by step

OpenStudy (itrymath):

im soooo confused

OpenStudy (itrymath):

what an inequality

OpenStudy (sshayer):

formula for converting centigrade to Fahrenheit is \[c=\frac{ 5 }{ 9 }\left( F-32 \right)\]

OpenStudy (sshayer):

in the statement it is given c lies between -30 and 130

OpenStudy (itrymath):

okay

OpenStudy (itrymath):

how do we get (9/5)C=F-32 F=32+(9/5)C

OpenStudy (itrymath):

how was is it minus and know its addition??

OpenStudy (itrymath):

whattt how do you get -270?!?!??!?!?!

OpenStudy (itrymath):

agent can we start from beginning

OpenStudy (sshayer):

\[-30<C<130\] \[-30<\frac{ 5 }{ 9 }\left( F-32 \right)<130\] multiply by 9 \[-30 \times 9<9 \times \frac{ 5 }{ 9 }\left( F-32 \right)<9 \times 130\] \[-270<5\left( F-32 \right)<1170\] divide each by 5 \[\frac{ -270 }{ 5 }<\frac{ 5(F-32) }{ 5 }<\frac{ 1170 }{ 5 }\] \[-54<F-32<234\] add 32 to each -54+32<F-32+32<234+32 -22<F<266

OpenStudy (itrymath):

o

OpenStudy (itrymath):

i understand
