The Fahreheit and Celsius scales are related by the equation F=9/5C+32. What temperature Celsius would give the body temperature of 98.6?

Step 1. Solve for C in

Subtract 32 from both sides of the equation

Step 2. Multiply by to both sides of the equation to get C

Step 3. Substitute F=98.6 in the equation of Step 2.

degrees Celcius

Step 4. ANSWER: 37 degrees Celcius is equivalent to 98.6 degrees Farenheit.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
