C=expr%285%2F9%29%28f-32%29 Start with the given equation.


9C=5%28f-32%29 Multiply both sides by 9.


9C=5f-160 Distribute.


9C%2B160=5f Add 160 to both sides.


%289C%2B160%29%2F5=f Divide both sides by 5 to isolate f


%289C%29%2F5%2B%28160%29%2F5=f Break up the fraction.


f=expr%289%2F5%29C%2B32 Reduce and rearrange the terms.


So the answer is f=expr%289%2F5%29C%2B32
