\"F=%289%2F5%29C%2B32\" is the given relationship, which is F as a function of C. But to answer the question, we need to know C as a function of F. Therefore, the first step is to solve the equation for C in terms of F.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"F=%289%2F5%29C%2B32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"F-32=%289%2F5%29C\". Subtract 32 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%28F-32%29=9C\". Multiply both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2F9%29%28F-32%29=C\". Divide both sides by 9\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we have an expression for C in terms of F, so we can substitute the given value of F (95) to determine C.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2F9%29%2895-32%29=C\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2F9%29%2863%29=C\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2863%2F9%29=5%2A7=35=C\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's check by finding out what F would be if C = 35.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"F=%289%2F5%2935%2B32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"F=9%2A7%2B32=63%2B32=95\" and our answer checks.\r
