Question 24882: I can not figure out what steps to take and why to solve this equation
F=9/5C+32, solve for C
Answer: C=5/9(f-32)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This equation is farenheit and celsius converter;
F(fahrenheit)=5%2F9c(celsius)+32
When you solved for C,you where turning the equation around, which is what you would do if you knew what celsius you had and you wnatedto know the fahrenheit.
ex;
You want to know what 15 cel. is in fahrenhiet;
f=9%2F5(15)+32
f=27+32
f=59 degrees
