Hi,
\n" ); document.write( "You are absolutely correct to start with multiplying each side of the equation by 9!!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"9%2A70=+5%28F-32%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute the \"5\" to simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "\"9%2A70=+5%2AF-5%2A32\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "\"630=+5%2AF-160\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms (Add 160 to both sidees of the equation)
\n" ); document.write( "\"630%2B160=+5%2AF\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"790=+5%2AF\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"F=highlight%28158%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
