Vocaloid:

to go from F = (9/5)C + 32 subtract 32 from both sides, then multiply by (5/9)

UsArmy3947:

Where do I subtract?

Vocaloid:

you subtract 32 from both sides of the equation

Vocaloid:

(9/5)C + 32 - 32 = ?

UsArmy3947:

0?

Vocaloid:

think carefully

UsArmy3947:

Cancel out?

Vocaloid:

start with (9/5)C add 32 take away 32 what's left?

UsArmy3947:

(1.8)C

Vocaloid:

good but you don't have to convert the fraction to a decimal

Vocaloid:

so if we have (9/5)C = F - 32 we can then multiply both sides by (5/9) to get...?

UsArmy3947:

Ugh i'm so lost >.<

UsArmy3947:

I understand what you are say... just don't know where to multiply 5/9...

UsArmy3947:

Do I multiply it with 32?

Vocaloid:

multiply everything

Vocaloid:

(9/5)C = F - 32 (5/9)*(9/5)C = (5/9) * (F-32)

UsArmy3947:

Ah I see... thank you :)
