F=1.8C%2B32 Start with the given equation


-50=1.8C%2B32 Plug in F=-50


-50-32=1.8C Subtract 32 from both sides.


-82=1.8C Combine like terms.


-82%2F1.8=C Divide both sides by 1.8 to isolate C


-45.6=C Divide (and round to the nearest tenth)


So the answer is approximately C=-45.6


So this means that -50 F is approximately -45.6 C
