On one particular day the temperature in degrees Celsius was 20° less than the temperature in Fahrenheit.
\n" ); document.write( " what was the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we know that C = \"5%2F9\"(f - 32), therefore
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F9\"(f - 32) = f - 20
\n" ); document.write( "Get rid of the fraction multiply both sides by 9
\n" ); document.write( "5(f - 32) = 9(f - 20)
\n" ); document.write( "distribute
\n" ); document.write( "5f - 160 = 9f - 180
\n" ); document.write( "-160 + 180 = 9f - 5f
\n" ); document.write( "+20 = 4f
\n" ); document.write( "f = 20/4
\n" ); document.write( "f = 5 degrees Fahrenheit
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
